Controlling Unsolicited Communications
As the use of mobile phones within vulnerable segments such as under-18's increases, operators are under pressure from parents, regulators and their own corporate social responsibility to ensure that the users of mobile data services are able to use the services without cause for concern.
Of key concern to operators at present is the growth in SMS interconnect spam with on average 2% of international inbound traffic being fraudulently generated through spoofing, phishing and faking attacks; and the generation of inappropriate SMS services or phishing attacks by on-net sources and content providers.
The AdaptiveMobile Policy Control Framework provides Mobile Operators with a Policy Management function that can filter all inbound and outbound mobile activity according to the individuals' profiles - thus allowing network, group or individual policies to be applied.
The solution allows for identification of new spam and malware threats, protection against illegal activity while giving individual corporates and parents the ability to define what level of content protection they require.
Integrating best in breed third-party URL databases, anti-virus databases, anti-spam signatures and multimedia filtering capabilities, the Policy Control Framework provides mobile operators with a flexible, future-proof platform that supports existing network elements and prevents lock-in to third party security components.
