Increased level of SS7 attacks in APAC leads to
Company being selected to protect 39 million mobile subscribers
AdaptiveMobile, the world leader in mobile network security,
today announced that it has been selected by a tier-1 mobile
network operator (MNO) in APAC to defend against the growing number
and complexity of SS7 security threats in the region. As the number
of attacks continues to increase, there has been an increased
urgency from MNOs to secure their networks to retain subscriber
trust and security.
AdaptiveMobile was selected thanks to its market-leading SS7
Signalling Protection product and the ability of the Company to
deliver state-of-the-art signalling and messaging protection
capabilities from a single, award-winning network security
platform. AdaptiveMobile’s Signalling Protection product
superiority is underpinned by the world-leading research
capabilities of AdaptiveMobile’s Threat Intelligence Unit,
providing customers with the latest insight and intelligence on the
threats posed to their networks.
Recent research from AdaptiveMobile’s TIU has concluded that SS7
attacks are being launched continuously and sustainably in APAC,
particularly from China and North Korea, which is a major concern
to MNOs in the region. These attacks are sophisticated in nature
and are often hidden in different proxies; however, the attacks
typically connect back to these two countries of origin in some
capacity. The TIU’s ability to share these unique industry insights
and findings helps to strengthen AdaptiveMobile’s value proposition
in the market.
“Mobile network operators are rapidly realizing the importance
of deploying proven, scalable and advanced security measures to
secure their SS7 Networks. We are pleased to be working with an
increasing number of operators in the APAC region as they witness
the number of SS7 attacks increase and believe this will be a key
geography for strategic growth over the next few years,” said Brian
Collins, chief executive officer, AdaptiveMobile. “The current
mobile security landscape plays to our strengths as we deliver a
world-class SS7 security solution to meet the region’s need. In
fact, our Signalling Protection product, which encompasses SS7 and
Diameter security, has been shortlisted in the Global Telecom
Awards for Security Solution of the Year.”
AdaptiveMobile is now strongly positioned to build on this
success and further strengthen its position across the entire APAC
region through its highly effective channel partner initiative.
Already delivering results, this approach allows AdaptiveMobile to
expand more rapidly across the region, reducing sales cycles and
ensuring that its market leading signalling and messaging security
systems can be implemented at the accelerating pace being demanded
by operators to safeguard their subscribers.
