IDENTIFYING POTENTIAL ATTACKS AGAINST CELLULAR NETWORKS

Abstract:

Aspects of the present invention disclose a method for identifying indications of an attack on a cellular network. The method includes one or more processors scanning a geographic area of a cellular network, wherein the geographic area includes a plurality of transceivers of the cellular network. The method further includes identifying a symptom that impacts a transceiver of the cellular network based at least in part on connectivity between a computing device and the plurality transceivers of the cellular network. The method further includes performing one or more assessments on the transceiver of the cellular network impacted by the symptom. The method further includes determining whether the symptom of the cellular network is associated with an attack on the cellular network based at least in part on the one or more assessments.
