SMS Firewall solution provided by TelcoGuard. Effective real-time tool
TelcoGuard security solution that is aimed at reacting and mitigating MNOs threats and risks within messaging flow in real time. It reliably protects mobile operator networks from all SMS-based vulnerabilities.
Key features and Benefits
-
Illegal Routes: Illegal Route techniques include traffic blending, off-net termination, SMS delivery via local aggregators as well as other bypasses such as SIM Boxes (SIM Farms). TelcoTest FW solution empowers detection and control no matter the type of illegal route.
-
SIM Boxes (SIM Farms): SIM Boxes contribute to revenue leakage on the MNOs side. Aggressive and advanced techniques require a solution that effectively fights against these prepaid P2P SIM card activities. TelcoGuard SMS Firewall enables mobile network operators to reduce revenue leakage while improving subscriber experience.
-
SPAM: Detected through TelcoGuard SMS Firewall AI algorithms, we stop unsolicited SMS reaching subscribers that are sent by P2P, A2P, or P2A links connected to SMSC.
-
Flooding: SMS flooding attacks occur when a high volume of A2P messages are terminated to saturate and overload the MNO’s MSC. The TelcoGuard module detects possible flood attacks by checking originating GT parameters.
-
Artificial Traffic Inflation: Fraudsters employ bots to generate a vast number of counterfeit accounts within a Global Enterprises system. All of these accounts subsequently request one-time passwords to verify these numerous “users” in a two-factor authentication process. MNOs & Global Enterprises incur substantial financial losses by sending passcodes to bots, and mobile network operators risk tarnishing their reputations. TelcoGuard Fraud Management System can bolster its capacity to identify suspicious traffic, detect grey routes, and take measures to safeguard MNO customers, end-users, and revenues.
-
GT Scanning: GT Scanning is a malicious scanning attack to determine OPEN SMSC to terminate traffic free of charge. Applied only to Mobile-Originated (MO) Traffic, it is followed by sending MO_FWD to a range of GTs in order to identify an SMSC that is vulnerable. The TelcoGuard module is able to detect possible GT Scanning activities by monitoring FWD SM-MO packets.
