Expert: Popularity of Mobile Devices Brings New Threats from Hackers

Airwide’s technologies address security at each of these levels. make sure that if you are rolling out a mobile email solution for handsets, you install spam-filtering technology that works to filter messages before they’re passed to mobile devices. Especially for small businesses without IT departments or enterprise-grade applications, there is a need to rely on the protection that your operator or carrier provides you with. Most operators attack fraudulent activities from a few major points in the messaging chain:
Value-added service providers: when mobile operators better control VASPs, they can ensure that they respect service-level agreements and use mobile infrastructure within predefined boundaries
Mobile operators infrastructure: Traffic control to detect abnormal patterns, message checks to confirm legitimate senders, content filtering, and message blocking are some of the tools offered to mobile operators that can help identify and control fraudulent activity
Subscribers: Many mobile operators can share spam control with their subscribers by providing solutions to black-list certain phone numbers and block messages coming from these phones
As mentioned above, many operators are now implementing Anti-spam solutions at the mobile network level that can help block malicious traffic at these three major points hopefully to prevent it ever making it to the subscriber’s handset. However, in addition, many operators are also beginning to implement personalized applications that can help small businesses and interested consumers take even further steps to protect themselves from malware and spyware distributed via SMS or MMS Spam. Some of these personalized applications allow the handset user to configure their own personal spam filters or message blocking settings right at the handset, offering an additional and more granular level of protection. You can set these filters to block SMS from certain addresses or to not receive messages sent from the Internet.
