Anam’s Signaling Firewall protects mobile networks from attacks arriving over signaling network. The signaling network is inclusive of SS7 and diameter network. This firewall makes use of Anam’s analytics technology to analyze signaling traffic and identify existing attacks in a given network. Additionally, it offers Saifcell, a threat information sharing system for operators to share SS7 and DIAMETER threat information in near real-time. Furthermore, the company provides its managed services for fundamental tasks, such as installation, configuration, performance, and network monitoring. It also offers a signaling firewall to protect and manage SS7 and the diameter network from fraudsters and criminal activities.

This firewall is further classified into SS7 and diameter firewall to protect respective networks from fraudulent attacks and privacy breaches across the full range of signaling threats. In line with signaling firewall, the company also offers A2P protection used to block unsolicited messages, SMS frauds, and spams. This A2P messaging solution helps the mobile operators to identify the grey routes and traffic by analyzing the message contents and volumes originating from different networks. Furthermore, with the cooperation of signaling providers, the company provides a wide array of roaming, fraud, and security applications for mobile operators.

AdaptiveMobile’s SMS firewall, a messaging security application, ensures the protection of network from the latest messaging security threats, in SMS, email, MMS, or IP messaging. This firewall offers messaging protection platform, which makes use of in-network controls, subscriber reputation, and advanced threat detection algorithms to identify and block spammers. Furthermore, it provides advanced features, such as sophisticated threat discovery, real-time reputation and traffic analysis, security policy structure, and analytics.

Besides firewall solutions, the company provides managed security services, such as grey route monetization, messaging integrity audits, and interconnect security services. Grey route monetization application helps the MNOs to block A2P, P2A, and P2P messages from unauthorized sources. The messaging integrity application helps to identify the network loopholes by analyzing existing messaging network systems, architecture, and traffic. Interconnect security service applications are managed services offered with SS7 firewall, which help the operators to maintain a safe and secure network.

PSTN is a legacy network used by telecom operators for wired communications globally, as SS7 network is the backbone of the PSTN network. The company also offers SS7 firewall to protect the operator’s network from hackers, adversaries, and fraudsters. The SS7 firewall identifies anomalous behaviors in network traffic to protect the subscribers as well as the operators from malicious attacks. Additionally, this firewall constitutes of hardware and software features to perform real-time SS7 session tracking and signaling traffic inspection. In line with SMS firewall, AMD Telecom offers A2P monetization application, which helps MNOs and MVNOs to provide effective control over the network traffic and generate revenues from unprofitable A2P SMS services.
