AdaptiveMobile Messaging Security

Mobile operators across the globe are facing intense competition as their messaging services mature and new entrants in their markets emerge. To protect their revenues and margins they need continual protection against the latest messaging security threats, across SMS, Email, MMS or RCS / SIP (IP Messaging).

Whether from regulatory pressure, subscriber complaints over spam, or new over-the-top messaging apps – every operator today is struggling to maintain the profitability of their SMS. Yet it still remains the most widely used and commercially successful messaging service.

AdaptiveMobile Messaging Security and Protection can help operators take the right steps to tackle a broad range of challenges to their messaging services. Using in-network controls, subscriber reputation and advanced threat detection algorithms, the Messaging Protection platform can identify and block spammers, SIM Banks and app broadcasts – protecting an operator’s current and future messaging businesses.
