Cloudmark has launched the Cloudmark Mobile Messaging Security Solution, a fully comprehensive security offering which encompasses a global reporting and analysis component, as well as an automated, active messaging filtering solution. In conjunction with the launch of the new solution, the company has also launched its 2011 Mobile Spam Guide (www.cloudmark.com/spamguide), a definitive toolkit designed to help the wider ecosystem address the growing problem of mobile spam.
The Cloudmark Mobile Messaging Security Solution is a high-performance, carrier-grade messaging security solution that will enable operators to combat ever-evolving messaging threats with advanced mobile anti-virus, subscriber behaviour analysis and subscriber preference capabilities. The new solution allows mobile operators to rapidly create customized scenarios which best suit the needs of their individual network and subscriber base, while also protecting against annoying and malicious spam activity, in the following ways:
Alan Ranger, Vice-President of Mobile Marketing, Cloudmark, explains, "Mobile spam, fraud and malware have become a real problem for operators and subscribers alike over the last twelve months. The high returns available in the mobile channel have attracted attacks from traditional email spammers, who bring with them 10 years' experience in avoiding detection in the fixed-line world. Regulation has had some effect on curtailing messaging abuse. However, the global mobile community needs to collaborate to prevent these mobile messaging attacks from becoming as prominent as similar attacks in email."
The latest release of the Cloudmark Mobile Platform not only allows operators to protect against rapidly mutating attacks but also provides them visibility into, and control over, their networks. Building on over ten years' experience protecting 1.6 billion subscribers globally, the Cloudmark Mobile Platform is the only solution with the ability to report and flag anomalies on the network in real time, as well as proactively protect mobile operators and their subscribers from new and emerging threats.
