Protecting Mobile Operator Networks and Subscribers from Mobile Messaging Attacks and Fraud

With the rapid growth of SMS and MMS usage and the increased adoption of smartphones, mobile networks are fast becoming the new vector for spammers, phishers and hackers intent on committing fraud. As more users rely on mobile phones for critical communications, and more operators adopt unlimited texting plan models, the barriers to entry for spammers has been significantly reduced, creating the potential for millions of dollars in illegitimate revenue.

Mobile messaging abuse affects the whole mobile ecosystem, causing significant costs and headaches to both subscribers and operators. Mobile operators experience higher customer support costs and increased subscriber churn when their subscribers' trusted user experience is impacted. Abusive traffic also wastes valuable bandwidth and storage resources, putting the stability of the network at risk. Furthermore, as mobile operator revenues flat line or decline from traditional talking and texting services, Operators are looking to leverage new value added services and mobile marketing options to enhance revenue streams.

Cloudmark's MobileAuthority™ solution is a carrier-grade messaging security solution that delivers a unique blend of technology, data and expertise for the best overall mobile messaging protection. With MobileAuthority, mobile operators are able to proactively protect their networks against mobile messaging attacks and fraud, ensuring network protection, operational efficiency and positive customer experience.
