Robust and reliable – security solutions for critical telecommunications infrastructures

Securing telecommunications infrastructure – protection against physical and digital threats

Ensuring the protection of critical infrastructure in the telecommunications sector is one of the most complex challenges facing security technology. Operators must guarantee both physical protection and cyber security in order to protect telecommunications networks and services from potential threats. Possible risks include:

  • Physical attacks: Attacks on distributors or central network points can disconnect entire regions from the network.
  • Cyber attacks: Hacking, malware and DDoS attacks disrupt or block networks and systems.
  • Power outages: Without electricity, many telecommunications systems function only to a limited extent or not at all
  • Natural disasters: Earthquakes can directly destroy cables, transmission masts and data centres. Floods, storms and extreme heat also pose a threat to technology.
  • Technical failures: Defects in servers, routers or network components lead to connection interruptions or data loss.
  • Internal errors: Carelessness, misconfigurations or deliberate sabotage by employees can disrupt systems or make them vulnerable to attack.

Legal requirements such as the CER Directive and the KRITIS umbrella law require robust and fail-safe systems that continue to operate reliably even in the event of power failures or network disruptions.

SOLUTION

PYLOCX® technology for maximum safety

The reliable protection of telecommunications systems is a key challenge for operators of critical infrastructures. Switch boxes, distributors and central network nodes are often located in publicly accessible places and are therefore particularly vulnerable to physical attacks, unauthorised access or environmental influences. This is exactly where STUV'sPYLOCX® technology comes in.

Specially developed for the high demands of critical infrastructure, PYLOCX®combines robust, battery-free locking components with a secure, GDPR-compliant access system based on one-time codes. This combination of physical protection and digital control enables maximum security – regardless of power supply or network availability. Even under extreme conditions such as heat, cold, vandalism or technical malfunctions, the components remain reliable in their insert parts.

PYLOCX® protects telecommunications equipment such as distribution boxes and switchgear installed directly on streets or in exposed locations. Here, our swinghandles and security fittings provide robust, tamper-proof access protection. In combination with the PYSUITE® software(), this creates a powerful system for seamless monitoring and documentation of all access processes, enabling secure and efficient management of your infrastructure.

Our solutions comply with all BSI, VdS and CER guidelines, offering not only reliable technology but also legal certainty – for permanently protected telecommunications operations.
