Cyshield | The Overlooked Attack Surface: Radio Access Network Threats in Focus

The Radio Access Network (RAN) is a foundational component of mobile communication, bridging user equipment with the mobile core. Yet, despite its criticality, RAN remains one of the least scrutinized layers in telecom security. In this session, we expose the hidden risks, vulnerabilities, and offensive opportunities within 4G/5G RAN infrastructures. From RRC storms to rogue base station exploits, this talk walks through real-world attack simulations and research insights. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the attack vectors exposed through the air interface and learn why defending the edge is no longer optional. Whether you're a telecom operator, a red teamer, or a security researcher, this session will reshape how you perceive mobile network defense.
