Detect threats on your private cellular network before they become incidents

Private cellular networks carry your most critical operations. Without detection built specifically for this environment, breaches go unnoticed until it is too late. OneLayer surfaces the threats that standard security stacks cannot see and puts response in your hands.

How it works

What OneLayer detects on your private cellular network

OneLayer ingests data simultaneously from three layers: the control plane, the user plane, and the device identity layer. Detection runs across two modes in parallel, and alerts arrive with device history and investigation context attached.

Rule-based detection

You define the rules; OneLayer enforces them. Set conditions on device identity, APN access, vendor allowlists, and session behavior. Any violation triggers an alert immediately, before damage is done.

Cellular-specific threat detection

OneLayer detects threats that are specific to how private cellular networks operate: SIM-based identity abuse, device-to-APN policy violations, unauthorized manufacturer access, and location-based anomalies. These are known threat patterns tied to the cellular stack, not generic IT security alerts.

Threats OneLayer detects

These are specific detections active in production deployments, not categories.

Identity Critical

Suspected IMEI Spoofing

A device's reported identity does not match its observed behavior, indicating a potential impersonation attempt on the network.

Identity Critical

IMEI Validation Failed

A device connected with an IMEI that failed one or more integrity checks. Flags devices that may be using invalid or cloned identifiers.

Identity High

SIM Swap

A SIM previously associated with one device has been placed in a different device. Distinguishes planned asset management activity from unauthorized SIM transfers.

Supply Chain High

Unpermitted Manufacturer

A device from a manufacturer not on your approved list connected to the network. Supports device provenance and supply chain integrity requirements.

Access High

Device-APN Mismatch

A device connected using an APN it is not authorized to use. Indicates a policy violation that may signal misconfiguration or an unauthorized access attempt.

Access High

Unauthorized Multiple APN Use

A device's reported identity does not match its observed behavior, indicating a potential impersonation attempt on the network.

Policy Medium

Tethering

A device was observed sharing its network connection with other devices. May indicate an unauthorized access point or unmanaged endpoint on the network.

Visibility Medium

New Device Behind Cellular Router

A device with a previously unseen MAC address connected behind a cellular router. Flags unknown endpoints that may require investigation or enrollment.

Operational Medium

Device Migrated Between Cellular Routers

A device shifted its connection from one cellular router to another. May indicate physical relocation, network failover, or movement outside expected operational boundaries.

Location Medium

Device-Cell Mismatch

A device expected to operate within a specific area connected to a serving cell outside that zone. Indicates possible device movement outside its authorized operational boundary.

How to get started

Detection built for your network, not a generic one

OneLayer starts by building a complete picture of every device on your network. Detection is grounded in a reliable inventory before the first rule fires, and improves continuously as your environment evolves.

1

Inventory

OneLayer connects to your network's control plane signaling, the same channel devices use to authenticate and register. From that point, every attach attempt is captured in real time, before any issue reaches your helpdesk.

2

Configure

You activate detection rules across your threat categories: set approved vendor lists, APN access policies, severity levels, and automated response actions per rule type.

3

Detect and respond

Prioritized alerts arrive with full investigation context: device history, group assignment, matched rule, and recommended action. Close cases manually or trigger automated responses. Every action is logged for compliance.

The threats on your private
cellular network are not
waiting. Neither should your
detection.

What Our Partners Are Saying

"Private cellular networks demand security solutions that can adapt as devices move and conditions change. By partnering with OneLayer, we're extending Check Point's prevention-first security architecture offering real-time and context-driven policy enforcement. This enables enterprises to gain tighter control, unified visibility, and advanced threat prevention across both legacy OT and modern IoT assets."

TRUSTED BY

Where this gets you

Your private cellular network is secure.
You can prove it.

Your security team operates with confidence: known devices, a clear audit trail of detections and responses, and the evidence to back it up. When a regulator asks about your network security posture, you have answers. When a threat surfaces, you have the context to act. Your private cellular network is no longer a blind spot.

Confidence in your network security posture

Continuous monitoring across device identity, control plane events, and cellular-specific threat patterns gives your team a defensible view of what is on the network and what it is doing.

Compliance evidence, not just compliance intent

Every detection, response action, and case resolution is logged. Audits, incident reviews, and regulatory inquiries have answers that are documented, not reconstructed from memory.

Security that keeps pace with your network

As new devices join your network and your environment evolves, detection rules and device context are updated continuously. Coverage grows with your operations without manual rework.

WITH
WITHOUT ONELAYER
Threat visibility
Alerts surface automatically across identity, access, and cellular-specific threat categories
 Threats on private cellular go undetected; existing tools have no visibility into this environment
Device inventory
Every connected device known, with full context: identity, SIM, manufacturer, APN, location zone
No reliable inventory of what is on the network; unknown devices go unnoticed
Alert investigation
Each alert includes device history, matched rule, and recommended action — ready to act immediately
Manual correlation across raw logs; hours or days to determine cause and scope
Response
Automated or manual response actions executed and logged per case
No structured response workflow; actions are ad hoc and undocumented
Compliance evidence
Full audit trail of detections, responses, and case resolutions available on demand
No documented record of security events; audits require reconstruction from memory or incomplete logs

Give Your Network Team
the Visibility They've Been Missing

Your operations team shouldn't need a cellular expert, or a costly dedicated analyzer, to answer the question: why won't this device connect? Give them the log, the label, and the next step, proactively, the moment it matters.
