Cubro Network

Founded in Austria, Cubro began its journey not as a manufacturer of blinking boxes, but as a provider of telecom signaling probes. Unlike general IT vendors, Cubro’s engineering DNA was steeped in the rigorous standards of SS7, SIGTRAN, and early LTE protocols. This telecom heritage is critical to understanding the company’s evolution. In the early 2010s, as network speeds transitioned from 1GbE to 10GbE and 40GbE, monitoring tools (IDS/IPS, NPM tools) began to fail. They were dropping packets because they could not handle line-rate traffic.

A European MNO launches 5G SA (Standalone). Their security stack (IDS) cannot parse 5G's HTTP/2-based signalling (NAS). They deploy Cubro XG nodes at the N3 and N6 interfaces. Cubro decodes the PFCP sessions, reassembles the user plane, and exports metadata to the SIEM. This allows the operator to detect a botnet on the 5G network that traditional firewalls missed because the traffic was encrypted inside a GTP tunnel. cubro network

A global investment bank runs a low-latency trading network. They need to monitor for market manipulation (spoofing) without adding latency. They install Cubro FIBER XP devices in-line between switches. The Cubro devices copy the traffic, strip the VLAN tags, and send a filtered stream (only FIX protocol messages) to the surveillance server. The trading floor sees no latency increase because the Cubro is passive and FPGA-based. Founded in Austria, Cubro began its journey not
