SS7, SigTRAN and SIP Security
Course Overview
This course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of SS7, SIGTRAN, and SIP security protocols. The course will cover the fundamental principles of Signaling System 7 (SS7), SIGTRAN, and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), as well as the common vulnerabilities and attacks associated with these protocols. Participants will learn how to identify and mitigate potential security risks associated with SS7, SIGTRAN, and SIP, and will gain practical experience through hands-on exercises and case studies.
Target Audience
The course is intended for experienced network engineers, network tuning staff and anyone with network experience, who needs in depth technical knowledge on functionality of GSM signaling.

Course Objectives
At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Understand GSM/UMTS network on a system-wide level
- Describe the functionality of the SS7-SIGTRAN network in the GSM/UMTS/LTE environment
- Describe the message routing on MTP and SCCP levels
- Explain the most popular SIGTRAN User Adaptation Layers: MTP3 User Adaptation (M3UA) and SCCP User Adaptation (SUA)
- Understand and explain the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP)
- Describe signaling procedures for the different protocol levels (SS7/SIP/Diameter)
- Identify and analyze the common vulnerabilities and attacks associated with SS7, SIGTRAN, and SIP
- Implement security mechanisms and protocols to mitigate potential security risks associated with SS7, SIGTRAN, and SIP
