The Bastille Research webinar series aims to educate security professionals about the risks and vulnerabilities in RF devices and protocols. In this webinar we cover security vulnerabilities discovered in cellular protocols.
Dr. Altaf Shaik from the Technical University of Berlin and Bastille, CTO Dr. Brett Walkenhorst review historical application layer, interconnect, and IMSI catchers. We also explore the value of wireless monitoring for real-time alerting and forensic analysis to help mitigate the impact of some of these threats.
In this webinar you will learn:
Historical Cellular Vulnerabilities
Application Layer
Interconnects (SS7, Diameter nodes)
Radio/Baseband Layer (IMSI catchers, others)
IMSI catchers
Bringing Visibility to the Wireless Attack Surface
Speakers:
Dr. Altaf Shaik is a senior research scientist at the Technische Universität Berlin in Germany, and conducts advanced research in telecommunications especially, in 6G security architecture, openRAN, and 5G radio access and core network security. He has more than 12 years of experience in Telecom security and combines a professional background in embedded programming, wireless communications, and offensive network security. Dr. Shaik spent his career as a security engineer and expert at various leading telecommunication companies including Gemalto (currently Thales), Deutsche Telekom, and Huawei Technologies.
His research assisted in improving the 3GPP 4G security standards and exposed several vulnerabilities in commercial mobile networks affecting millions of base stations, networks, and handsets worldwide. Recently he also exposed vulnerabilities in the telecom APIs and 5G slice authentication leading to serious attacks.
Dr. Shaik is a frequent speaker at various prestigious international security conferences such as Blackhat USA & Europe, T2, SECT, Nullcon, Hardware.io and HITB, and many others. His accomplishments landed him in the hall of fame of organizations like Google, Qualcomm, Huawei, and GSMA. He is also the founder of Kaitiaki labs and FastIoT that trains internationally various companies and governmental organizations in exploit development and also building secure mobile and IoT networks including their testing and security assessment.
