PolicyFilter (MMS)
The AdaptiveMobile MMS filter allows operators to protect against Spam, Viruses and undesired content on MMS. Inspection capabilities range from virus analysis through to a range of image and other media content analysis.
Increasing MMS usage is key to meeting operators' data services revenue targets. However the introduction of MMS has caused concerns within corporate and retail subscribers:
- Use of MMS to distribute adult content to under-age subscribers;
- Personal harassment or bullying through offensive pictures;
- Use to distribute illegal content such as child pornography, or to record evidence of child abuse;
- Inability of corporates to control cost or limit MMS usage for approved purposes.
- The spread of mobile malware via MMS
By implementing the AdaptiveMobile PolicyFilter (MMS), operators are able to:
- Provide corporate subscribers with the means to manage corporate usage, cost and corporate responsibility.
- Offer MMS archiving services to corporate subscribers.
- Provide parental control functionality to their subscribers including anti-bullying blacklists, and filtering of unsolicited messages.
- Meet regulatory or voluntary code of conduct requirements for limiting access to adult content.
The PolicyFilter (MMS) can be deployed as MM1/ MM3 / MM4 and MM7 proxies. It provides for filtering functionality including:
Traffic analysis to identify new network threats;
- Personal blacklisting and whitelisting;
- Text and URL content filtering;
- Application type filtering;
- Application and content signatures;
- Image filtering through signature and third-party image analysis filters;
- Spam detection algorithms;
- Virus filtering of MMS attachments.
