Telecom and network providers

Telecom estates are the hardest discovery problem of the three, simply by scale: very large address space, many netblocks, subscriber-facing portals, OSS and BSS interfaces, regional and acquired infrastructure, and an enormous amount of surface that is technically owned but operationally forgotten. The hard part is not scanning — it is attribution, deciding which of the millions of reachable things are actually yours.

The platforms do not change by sector. What changes is which findings are urgent and how quickly they have to be closed. At telecom scale a list of findings is useless without ownership and deduplication. The same misconfiguration appearing on nine hundred hosts is one problem, not nine hundred, and it belongs to one team.

What matters most here from Maphra

Maphra discovers everything your organisation exposes to the internet, decides what actually matters, and proves exploitability — continuously, without an agent and without a credential.

• External Attack Surface Management — Continuous discovery and attribution of internet-facing assets — subdomains, hosts, services, certificates, cloud endpoints and the shadow IT nobody registered.
• Vulnerability Management — Findings deduplicated across scans, tracked through new / reopened / fixed, with ownership, ageing and SLA rather than a re-issued PDF.
• Threat Intelligence Hub — Advisories, CVE feeds and exploit intelligence correlated against the assets you actually operate, so a CVE only raises an alarm when it touches your surface.
• Comprehensive Security Analysis — TLS and certificate posture, security headers, DNS hygiene, email authentication and misconfiguration checks across every discovered asset.

What matters most here from AppSecD

AppSecD runs SAST, DAST, SCA, secret detection, IaC, container, Kubernetes and API security from one platform — wired into Git, gated at the pull request, and managed through a real vulnerability lifecycle.

• Dynamic & API testing — Nuclei, Dalfox, SQLMap, Commix, Katana, Arjun, FFuf and Interactsh for out-of-band detection, plus 150+ native checks and API discovery across 50+ web frameworks.
• Infrastructure & containers — Terraform, CloudFormation, Helm, Ansible and Pulumi rules; Dockerfile hardening with image CVE scanning; Kubernetes RBAC, network policy and pod security context analysis.
• Static analysis (SAST) — Semgrep as primary engine plus Bandit, gosec, ESLint security, Brakeman, PHPStan/Psalm and SpotBugs with FindSecBugs — 20+ languages against OWASP Top 10, CWE Top 25 and custom rule packs.
• Vulnerability lifecycle — Deduplication across scans, new / reopened / fixed state, ageing and SLA, assignment, and maker-checker approval so a finding cannot be closed unilaterally.

Where to start

Attribution and deduplication are the whole game here. Maphra attributes each discovered asset back to the organisation that owns it and deduplicates findings across scans, tracking them through new, reopened and fixed with ownership and SLA rather than re-issuing a report.

Maphra needs a domain name and no credentials, so the first pass costs the team nothing but the conversation. Book a walkthrough against your own estate, or read the Maphra detail and the AppSecD detail.
