SecurityGen wins “Best New Market Entrant” award at 2022 Carrier Community Global Awards
Mobile telecom security start-up takes home its third prestigious industry
award of the year.
Rome, Italy – 24 June 2022 - SecurityGen, the global start-up provider of security
solutions and
services for the telecoms industry, has won the “Best New Market Entrant”
award at the sixth
annual Carrier Community Global Awards ceremony in Berlin, for its ACE automated breach and
attack simulation platform for mobile networks.
SecurityGen was one of four vendors shortlisted for the category by an international panel
of
judges made up of industry analysts, consultants, and senior executives. The Carrier
Community
Global Awards are arranged by Carrier Community,
a global telecom industry branding and
networking club for wholesale service providers and eco-system partners.
The latest award was collected by Paolo Emiliani, co-founder and global head of operations
at
SecurityGen, who said, “Winning an award is always hugely gratifying. It’s recognition of
the hard
work, dedication and effort that the entire team at SecurityGen invests in our technology
and our
work with customers. I’m honoured and tremendously proud to collect this award on behalf of
my
colleagues.”
The CC Global Award is the third telecoms industry award that SecurityGen has won in recent
weeks for its ACE platform. In May, SecurityGen took home the award for vendor innovation at
the
Telecoms World Middle East Awards. Before that, also in May, it earned second place in the
ROCCO Research Vendor Innovators Awards.
Emiliani continued, “The manual methods that telecom operators have until now relied upon to
assess the security of their networks and systems are no longer fit for purpose with today’s
increasingly complex mobile networks. What’s needed instead is frequent automated inspection
and testing that views the network as a whole rather than as separate components: and which
is
supported by the latest field research and continually updated threat databases. The
SecurityGen
ACE platform fulfils this pressing need among operators.”
Earlier in the week, as part of this year’s Carrier Community
Enterprise Summit, Emiliani took part
in a discussion panel entitled “Enterprise 5G and Cybersecurity at the Forefront”, alongside
senior
executives from Deutsche Telekom, Cambridge Management Consulting, AvidThink and Cato
Networks.
“Debating the latest issues and new ideas for mobile operators and enterprises around 5G was
an
enlightening, positive experience,” he explained. “Private 5G networks will significantly
change how
business and industry harness high-speed mobile technology by enabling new mission-critical
use
cases across a range of different sectors.”
Emiliani continued, “As a cybersecurity company, SecurityGen is prepared for this change and
to
support the wave of innovation that private 5G will enable with an advanced level of
security across
the entire mobile network. Both operators and enterprises should be aware that the parameter
for
measuring private 5G’s success is not only performance - it’s performance and security as
well.”
SecurityGen was founded in early 2022 by four telecom security veterans. Its centrepiece
solution
is the ACE platform, a true telecoms industry first: the first completely automated breach
and attack
simulation platform that is purpose-built for securing mobile networks.
ACE assesses and improves the security of mobile operators by continuously testing the
strength
of their network defences against simulated attacks and techniques. It identifies and
reports
potential gaps and vulnerabilities within the operator’s network, and then carries out
simulations of
real-world attacks on these vulnerabilities to assess their seriousness and the potential
damage
that an actual attack could cause.
