Cloudmark's MobileAuthority™ Solution

Protecting Mobile Operators and Users from mobile messaging attacks and threats

Mobile messaging attacks have increased exponentially due to the increasing use of smart phones and the rapid adoption of mobile applications. According to a new Harris survey of more than 1,800 U.S. mobile device users, 44 percent had received mobile spam. A similar study in the UK indicates 65.9% have received mobile spam. Further exacerbating the issue, ROI for spammers has increased considerably with the introduction of unlimited messaging plans. This influx of mobile spam can lead to overloaded networks causing disruption of services. If left unprotected, mobile spam stands to damage the relationships between operator and user, leading to increased customer support calls and churn.

MobileAuthority provides mobile operators with three vital components to combat against messaging abuse and threats: actionable data, advanced content filtering, and messaging security expertise. These components work in tandem to ensure that mobile operators receive the most comprehensive and up-to-date messaging security protection for network optimization.

Actionable Mobile Sender Intelligence Data—This unique service provides mobile operators with real-time sender reputation data, enabling them to detect and block malicious senders from sending spam, either within the operator's network or sending from a partner network.

Advanced Mobile Content Filtering—Precisely identifies malicious content and stops mobile messaging abuse using Advanced Message Fingerprinting™ and real-time feedback from Cloudmark's Global Threat Network™. MobileAuthority provides 99% filtering accuracy of spam, phishing, and virus attacks.

Messaging Security Service and Domain Expertise—Dedicated monitoring and management of mobile environments from a team of messaging abuse experts. Operators receive network visibility into spam and targeted attacks to better protect their customers and network.
