AdaptiveMobile Security Highlights the Need to Protect Mobile Subscribers Against Spyware

This week the findings from the “Pegasus Project” revealed widespread abuse of mobile phone hacking spyware from a company identified as NSO Group. The implications are far reaching and severe, impacting the integrity of personal communication and national telecommunication infrastructure: the mobile phone spyware is capable of extracting stored data and spying on individual mobile devices. The revelations highlight the need for solutions from specialists like AdaptiveMobile Security to protect against mobile cyber threats.

Cyber-attacks and cyber surveillance are growing at a fast pace and have evolved to use a combination of different techniques to achieve their goals. In particular, surveillance platforms are powerful tools capable of manipulating mobile network signalling protocols, modifying service profiles, and introducing malware onto mobile devices. As an example, AdaptiveMobile Security previously developed effective protection against the Simjacker “zeroday” vulnerability which left more than one billion mobile phones exposed worldwide.

“This latest revelation is a stark reminder that mobile network security has never been more critical to ensure the integrity of personal communication and national telecom infrastructure,” says Brian Collins, Senior Vice President of AdaptiveMobile Security, an Enea company. “We remain committed to relentlessly securing mobile operators, governments and regulators against these cyber threats.”

The AdaptiveMobile Security Signalling Protection Platform and Signalling Intelligence Services have been deployed by mobile network providers and governments to protect subscribers from surveillance and service fraud by providing real-time protection from many of the techniques used by spying platforms.
