Telecom & Media Security

SECURE YOUR Networks, User Data & Digital Platforms from Evolving Threats

From 5G and telecom infrastructure to content delivery and streaming platforms, telecom and media companies face constant cyber risks. Capture The Bug helps global operators detect threats early, protect subscriber systems, and harden infrastructure with proactive penetration testing and continuous validation.

How Capture The Bug Helps

Building cyber resilience across global telcos and media ecosystems

Telecoms and media providers operate at massive scale-handling millions of subscriber sessions, customer records, real-time data streams, and billing operations. We help identify vulnerabilities across your stack, simulate zero-day threats, and validate the security of systems powering connectivity and content distribution. From ISPs and fiber providers to VoIP carriers and OTT platforms-we protect your most valuable assets.

5G & Core Network Security

We test 4G/5G cores, VoIP protocols and SS7 signalingfor real-world risks like SIM swapping, protocol abuse, and session hijacking-ensuring your backbone systems resist compromise and maintain subscriber trust.

Media Platform & Subscriber Data Protection

We secure OTT platforms, CMS backends and user APIsby simulating real-world data leaks, takeover attempts, and logic flaws-safeguarding session integrity, identity access, and privacy compliance.

Global Telecom Compliance Readiness

Our testing aligns with telecom security mandates. You receive prioritized, audit-ready remediation plans built for telecom-grade security teams.

What Our Client Say

Devoli logo
"At Devoli, we simplify telco for our customers across ANZ. InfoSec and data privacy are critically important to everything we do. We are a fast-moving tech company and have used various traditional pen-testing providers in the past. We were intrigued by Capture The Bug's more continuous testing approach. Three months into our journey with CTB, we are impressed by the responsiveness of their team and the immediate insights from CTB's App. We can now launch pen-test programs on-demand and start seeing results within a couple of days. The real-time visibility and collaborative workflow let's our team triage, comment, and request retests directly in the App. The workflow overall feels far more natural and is much better aligned with our delivery cadence – and provides learning opportunities for our team at the same time. If you are a fast-moving tech company looking for a more continuous security assessment as part of your development lifecycle, I would recommend checking them out."

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Telecom & Media cybersecurity testing, OTT streaming safety, and subscriber data protection.

Telecoms hold subscriber data, billing systems, network infrastructure, and increasingly content platforms that carry significant personal and commercial data. Media companies manage subscriber payments, content delivery networks, DRM systems, and creator monetization platforms. These are high-value targets for attackers. Capture The Bug tests the web-facing and API layers where most breaches actually originate. Start here: https://capturethebug.xyz/request-demo
Subscriber-facing portals, billing and payment APIs, content management systems, streaming platform APIs, mobile applications, account authentication systems, ad tech integrations, creator dashboards, and content delivery security. We scope based on your architecture. Full service: https://capturethebug.xyz/services/penetration-testing
We scope carefully. Network-layer testing for carrier infrastructure is a specialized engagement that requires careful coordination. We focus on the web application and API layer customer portals, self-service platforms, internal operations tools where the broadest attack surface exists and where most incidents originate. Enterprise plans handle this: https://capturethebug.xyz/company-size/enterprise
Australian telecoms fall under the Telecommunications Sector Security Reforms (TSSR) and the Critical Infrastructure Act 2018. NZ telecoms operate under the Telecommunications Interception and Security Act. Both frameworks include obligations to protect network security, which penetration testing directly supports. Capture The Bug's reports provide documentation aligned with these requirements. Book a compliance discussion: https://capturethebug.xyz/request-demo
Yes. Streaming platforms face specific security challenges token-based content access control, DRM bypass risks, API abuse for free content access, and subscriber account security. These aren't exotic vulnerabilities; they happen to real platforms regularly. Researchers with experience in streaming and media platforms are available for private programs. Program options: https://capturethebug.xyz/Programs
Telecoms and media platforms ship new features constantly new payment flows, app updates, API versions. Annual pentests miss everything in between. PTaaS keeps external testing aligned with your release cadence, so new code gets tested as it ships. Growing team plans: https://capturethebug.xyz/company-size/growing-team
Testing is scoped to staging or sandboxed environments using synthetic subscriber records. Production subscriber data is explicitly excluded from testing scope. Researchers operate under safe harbor agreements that prohibit accessing, copying, or exfiltrating any data outside the defined scope. Enterprise clients can add data residency and jurisdictional restrictions. Program setup: https://capturethebug.xyz/Programs
We serve media companies from early-stage to enterprise. A streaming startup preparing for its Series A, a podcast monetization platform onboarding enterprise advertisers, a digital news outlet processing subscriber payments these all have security testing needs that fit our startup and growth-stage programs well.
