The Telecommunications (Security) Act 2021 (TSA) strengthens the UK’s public communications networks by enforcing high security standards for providers. It mandates measures in the Telecommunications Security Code of Practice, including separation of critical functions from exposed edge equipment, adoption of zero trust principles for all management access, rigorous third-party risk controls, and continuous monitoring with sensors and analytics to detect anomalies.
Telecom providers run large, complex networks that must stay online without interruption. Tracking every external-facing device across vast cloud environments often creates blind spots. Securing the exposed edge while keeping core routing intact demands clear separation of critical systems. Thousands of third-party suppliers add further complexity, requiring strict risk scoring and other checks. Without a unified view, these moving parts lead to fragmented defenses and open the door to advanced threats.
