Mobile Anti-spam & Anti-virus Solutions for SMS, MMS and Email

Mobile messaging generates revenues in excess of 150 billion USD and is expected to increase to more than 233 billion USD by 2014. As subscribers increasingly rely on their mobile phones for every day communications, mobile-enabled applications and financial transactions, they become an attractive and lucrative target for attackers.

Cloudmark architects comprehensive mobile messaging infrastructure and security solutions designed to combat the most sophisticated mobile threats and attacks. Cloudmark mobile anti-spam and anti-virus solutions seamlessly integrate into a variety of mobile environments to address multiple types of messaging abuse throughout mobile operator networks.

Mobile Solutions Deployment Scenarios

Mobile to Mobile SMS

Solution:

Cloudmark Mobile Platform

Mobile to Mobile SMS abuse includes various types of Mobile Originated (MO) and Mobile Terminated (MT) abuse, including spam, phishing, and fraud. These threats directly impact subscribers and operators. Unwanted SMS content is a leading frustration with subscribers, especially in regions where the subscriber must pay for MT messages. Cloudmark completes the messaging security equation by extending beyond the capabilities of traditional SMS anti-abuse technologies, including anti-spoofing, anti-faking, and anti-flooding systems, to provide the highest accuracy content filtering solution.

Mobile to Mobile MMS

Solution:

Cloudmark Mobile Platform

Mobile to Mobile MMS abuse includes MMS threats such as spam, malware, and fraud. Cloudmark is able to integrate with leading MMS infrastructure vendors to scan content during the initial submission to the MMSC and during delivery to the recipient subscriber. Existing per-subscriber preferences and parental control settings can be leveraged to specify the types of allowed content for individual subscribers, including blocking of adult content.

Mobile Broadband

Solution:

Cloudmark Edge

Mobile broadband customers use laptops, tablets and netbooks with operating systems and applications that are just as vulnerable to malware infection as standard PC’s connected to fixed line operator networks. Once compromised, these 3G and 4G enabled computers can be indoctrinated to existing global botnets and leveraged to send email spam to destinations on the Internet using the mobile data network for transit. This illegitimate traffic can quickly saturate radio bandwidth, strain upstream network infrastructure and result in the DNS blacklisting of an operator’s public IP space preventing legitimate users from sending emails. Cloudmark Edge transparently filters traffic leaving your network to enable early detection and blocking of infected systems before they can impact the service and sending ability for other mobile data subscribers.

Mobile Email & Email to Mobile

Solution:

Cloudmark Gateway

Cloudmark Mobile Platform

Mobile email, messages sent from mobile devices via SMTP, face the same types of messaging attacks and threats as traditional email. Cloudmark can integrate spam and virus filtering into existing E-mail to SMS gateways to prevent illegitimate content that is sent from an Internets source from impacting mobile subscribers.
