GSM Base Station

Independent studies have recently revealed that corporate espionage is one of the fastest growing underground markets for hackers.  In the past few decades, hackers were seen as nothing but a nuisance causing menace.
In today’s world of multi-national corporations and multi-million dollar trade brokering, hacking has became an essential part of under-the-table dealings for many unscrupulous individuals and corporations.
The truth is that it is not just governments and the fortune 500 that are at risk.  We are seeing an increase in scanning attacks that probe not just for a specific individual, but also for whole areas in the hopes that hackers can extract something valuable.
One of the largest areas in which we are seeing a trend is that of GSM data snooping in which hackers use sophisticated technology to intercept calls made over not just GSM networks, but PSTN as well.
With the current shift from PSTN over to VOIP technology, many professional hackers are finding it harder to circumvent corporate network security, so they are being forced to focus on other ‘weak-points’ that may provide entry or lucrative information.
GSM is one of those weak points in the net, and many corporations are lax when it comes to cellular security.  The truth is that ensuring cellular calls are secure has been highly difficult for corporations up until now.
With the advent of technology such as Gold Lock, corporations can finally start to create a layered security model that ensures all endpoints are covered.
By ensuring that point-to-point GSM encryption is used, corporations rely on not just the fact that their call is secure, but also that recipients have genuine credentials and are who they say they are.
This protects both parties from GSM Interceptors, and other forms of cellular hijacking.
