DALLAS & DUBLIN - Thursday, July 16th 2015 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS
WIRE) -- AdaptiveMobile, the world leader in mobile security, today
publicly launched its Threat Intelligence Unit. The AdaptiveMobile
Threat Intelligence Unit (TIU), a formalised integration of the
Company’s Security Practice and its Data Intelligence Team, will provide
network operators with intelligence on the current and emerging threats
to their networks. Research by AdaptiveMobile has revealed that
previously considered theoretical SS7 exploits have been actively
detected in mobile operator networks worldwide. Such important security
revelations, combined with the rapid advancement in mobile threat volume
and complexity, have led to the creation of the AdaptiveMobile TIU,
providing industry-leading analysis and defence to protect operators and
both their enterprise and consumer subscribers.

Operator
networks are demanding a more comprehensive approach to protect against
advanced mobile threats, starting with a clear understanding of their
threat vectors and vulnerabilities. As mobile networks increasingly
become a target of abuse and exploitation, it is vital the industry is
able to remain one step ahead and protect against individuals and
organisations that pose a threat to either personal or national
security.
The
recently revealed security threats to the SS7 network show how rogue
access to this network is possible and a lack of end-to-end
authentication is leaving operator networks vulnerable to new types of
attacks. As seen in Ukraine in 2014, subscriber locations can be
accurately pin-pointed, personal phone calls and messages monitored,
network and subscriber data manipulated and defrauded, and user privacy
and revenues from key services placed under threat. With over 75
operators as customers, witnessing in excess of 30 billion mobile events
every day from across the globe, AdaptiveMobile is uniquely placed to
continue identifying, protecting and remediating against the widest
range of threats attacking mobile networks.
“The
launch of the AdaptiveMobile TIU is critical because the mobile
security threat landscape has changed,” says Cathal Mc Daid, head of the
AdaptiveMobile Threat Intelligence Unit. “Our customers are demanding a
greater insight into the vulnerabilities to which they are exposed. Our
team of experts in mobile network security, combined with an unrivalled
view of the mobile threat landscape, allows us to formalise a centre of
excellence in mobile security within AdaptiveMobile and make this
available to our customers and the Industry,” Mc Daid adds.
Responsible
for a suite of managed services including Grey Route Protection, SS7

research and development.
