Mobile network signaling, the foundational layer that enables devices, services, and networks to communicate, is increasingly recognized as a strategic cybersecurity blind spot. Despite its critical role in enabling global cyber infrastructure, this layer remains inconsistently secured, poorly monitored, and underrepresented in both policy frameworks and risk assessments. While 5th Generation cellular network technology (5G) and future mobile networks continue to evolve through cloud-native architectures and enhanced security measures, the telecom industry will, for years, operate hybrid environments that also support older generations. This sustained reliance on legacy technologies leaves a broader attack surface, and longstanding vulnerabilities in signaling protocols such as Signaling System 7 (SS7), Diameter, GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP), and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) remain largely unaddressed
