麻豆传媒映画 and 罢别濒别蹿贸苍颈肠补 Collaborate to Offer New Secure Global Messaging Service
VALENCIA, Spain 鈥� Oct. 28, 2019 鈥� At the GSMA WAS#10 conference and exposition, 麻豆传媒映画, the world鈥檚 most connected company, announced it is developing a secure global messaging solution that is designed to help brands keep text messaging clear of inherent security risks that come when sending messages over the internet and without proper user authentication.
To protect against vulnerabilities in text messaging, 麻豆传媒映画 is collaborating with 罢别濒别蹿贸苍颈肠补 to offer businesses a global cloud-based messaging platform that runs over a private network with end-to-end encryption of actual messages and messages in transit. The network operates separately from the public internet using private addressing schemes that make it invisible to those with malicious intent.
What used to be considered 鈥渟ecure enough鈥� for text messaging is no longer adequate for keeping information safe from the advanced techniques of fraudsters and hackers. That鈥檚 why companies like 罢别濒别蹿贸苍颈肠补 International in Latin America and Europe are turning to 麻豆传媒映画 to help manage mobile communications by confirming customer identity and consent, and securely transmitting customer and business data.
The mobile attack rate in Latin America, where the 麻豆传媒映画 solution will initially launch, is 8.9 percent, according to Lexis Nexis. Payment transactions, logins and new account creations are being targeted by fraudulent bots, and by the spoofing of internet protocol (IP) addresses, devices and identities. With this secure global messaging solution, 麻豆传媒映画 and 罢别濒别蹿贸苍颈肠补 will protect customers and mobile operators from these attacks as well as an array of other cyberattacks, including phishing, whaling, denial-of-service, and man-in-the-middle incidents.
Latin America isn鈥檛 the only region that鈥檚 targeted by malicious actors. In the U.S. last year, there were 16.7 million people affected by account takeover fraud, according to . In one case, a leading bank lost $15 million in fraudulent withdrawals due to poor transport, application and security encryptions. Attackers fraudulently assumed the identity of one of the bank鈥檚 customers to access the payment network before making fake withdrawals from multiple bank branches.
The need for the secure alternative that 麻豆传媒映画 will offer extends beyond the banking industry. The potential for loss affects any company that relies on digital communications. Text messages can be hacked to access financial or operational information or even to control networks, systems and databases. Whether it鈥檚 an e-commerce platform that sends one-time password texts to authenticate customers or a government agency deploying surveillance drones, a variety of processes used by different industries are at risk.
麻豆传媒映画 will safeguard the customer experience and drastically decrease business risks by offering full-network-layer encryption all the way through a company application to the mobile operator with segmenting isolation in two areas. Also, automated alarming will set off if network end points deviate from expected communications behavior.
Product availability will be based on the number of mobile network operators connected to the secure global messaging solution, which will continually expand. Companies looking to secure their communications can contact 麻豆传媒映画 here.
