NIST SP 800-187 · LTE Security · Evidence & Implementation Kit
Secure your LTE and cellular network to NIST 800-187, without turning the guide into controls yourself.
Every part of LTE security handed to you as an adopt-ready control, from the security architecture and EPS-AKA authentication through the rogue-base-station and interconnect threats to the mitigations, with the evidence an assessor examines.
LTE-secure in a weekend, not a quarter.
Here is the honest situation. LTE carries critical communications, but it has real weaknesses, IMSI catchers and rogue base stations exploiting pre-authentication messages, downgrade attacks to insecure legacy networks, and SS7 and Diameter interconnect vulnerabilities. NIST SP 800-187 is the guide to securing it: the LTE architecture and security domains, EPS-AKA authentication, and the countermeasures, mutual authentication, signaling integrity, backhaul and interconnect protection, and rogue-base-station monitoring. Turning that into implemented, evidenced controls is real work, and an unprotected interconnect or an undetected rogue base station is exactly where LTE security is weakened.
This Kit removes that translation. It is every part of 800-187 written as an adopt-ready control you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence an assessor examines.
What you get, the moment you buy
30
LTE security as adopt-ready controls. Every part of 800-187, from the architecture and security domains and EPS-AKA through the rogue-base-station and interconnect threats to the mitigations, written so you personalize and apply it.
30
Evidence-they-examine checklists. For each control, exactly what an assessor examines, plus where LTE security is weakened, so you close the gap first.
1
LTE Security Control Matrix, pre-built. Every control in a working spreadsheet, ready to record status and evidence location across the network.
1
Gap & Readiness Assessment. Score each control and the workbook returns your LTE security readiness as a single percentage, and exactly what to fix next.
Grounded in NIST SP 800-187 (Guide to LTE Security), with the LTE security architecture, EPS-AKA authentication, the rogue-base-station and interconnect threats, and the mitigations called out. Editable Word and Excel files.
The interconnect is the weak link everyone forgets
Operators harden the radio and the core but leave the SS7 and Diameter interconnect exposed, and that is where location tracking and interception attacks come in. This Kit makes interconnect security a first-class control, so the roaming and signaling path most often overlooked is protected.
What one control looks like
This is detecting rogue base stations and IMSI catchers, a core LTE threat. All 30 are built to this depth.
LTE-11 Detect and respond to IMSI catchers and rogue base stations ROGUE BASE STATIONS
Implement this control
[Operator] shall deploy detection for rogue base stations and IMSI catchers by monitoring for cells that broadcast anomalous parameters, request permanent identifiers unnecessarily, or force downgrades, shall correlate device and network reports, and shall define a response process that investigates, geolocates where feasible, and reports confirmed rogue infrastructure to the appropriate authorities.
Engineering note.
800-187 identifies rogue base stations exploiting pre-authentication messages as a primary threat; detection is the practical countermeasure.
Evidence an assessor examines
- Rogue base station detection tooling configuration or sensor placement
- Anomaly reports of cells requesting IMSI or forcing downgrades
- Documented investigation and escalation procedure
- Records of confirmed incidents and authority notifications
Common finding they raise: No monitoring exists for rogue cells, so IMSI catchers operate undetected within coverage areas.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. A security procedure you cannot evidence is a claim. This tells you what an assessor examines and where LTE security is weakened, for every control.
- The LTE-specific threats built in. IMSI catchers, downgrade attacks and the SS7 and Diameter interconnect vulnerabilities are written into the controls, the weaknesses a generic security program misses.
- Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
- It compounds. 800-187 secures LTE, and the principles carry toward 5G security, so this work feeds your wider network security program.
Who buys this
Mobile network operators, private LTE operators and their vendors, and the security engineers who own cellular security. Whether it is a first LTE security review or a hardening program, you save weeks and walk in with the architecture and evidence structured.
By the end of the weekend you will have
✓ An adopt-ready control for all 30 items
✓ A completed LTE security control matrix
✓ The evidence an assessor examines
✓ Your authentication and interconnect security defined
✓ A readiness percentage and a fix list
✓ The LTE weaknesses designed out
Common questions
Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.
Does it cover rogue base stations? Yes. Detecting IMSI catchers and rogue base stations, and minimizing the permanent identity, are their own control group.
Does it cover the interconnect? Yes. The SS7 and Diameter interconnect vulnerabilities and their protection are a full control group.
Does it apply to private LTE? Yes. The controls apply to any LTE deployment, including private and campus networks.
What if it is not for me? A 30-day money-back guarantee.
Do not harden the radio and leave the interconnect exposed.
Every part of 800-187 is fast to adopt with the Kit. It is instant, and it is guaranteed.
Add it to your cart and secure your LTE network this weekend.
