NetRise for Telecommunications Providers : Data Sheet on Software Supply Chain Security
Telecommunications networks run on complex, highly distributed software spanning 5G/6G infrastructure, network devices, OSS/BSS platforms, and carrier-grade applications. The NetRise Telecom Data Sheet details how binary analysis gives operators, OEMs, and security teams full visibility into what’s actually running across their network — beyond SBOM declarations, vendor attestations, or source-based scanning.
Why NetRise is Different:
Traditional security tools analyze source code, manifests, or vendor-supplied SBOMs. NetRise evaluates the actual build output — the compiled binaries, firmware, and embedded components deployed across telecom environments.
This approach exposes hidden risks that affect service availability, network integrity, and compliance with industry standards.
Key Takeaways:
- No Source Code Required - Verify firmware and software binaries from OEMs and vendors without relying on declarations or trust.
- Beyond CVEs - Identify misconfigurations, hard-coded secrets, and easily cracked public/private keys that scanners miss.
- Execution-Aware Prioritization - Understand which components actually auto-run, interact with the network, or are reachable by attackers.
- SBOM Validation & Enrichment - Generate accurate, binary-derived SBOMs aligned with FCC, NIST CSF 2.0, EO 14028, and upcoming 5G/6G requirements.
- Telco-Ready Integrations - Integrate with existing SOC workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and configuration management systems.
