AdaptiveMobile: Unique Mobile Threat Intelligence and Active Security Controls that Adapt to the Complex Threat Landscape
As we move towards a hyper-connected future and the proliferation of devices, services, individuals, enterprises and machines reliant on trusted networks to communicate – the pressures on network infrastructure evolution are increasing. However, without a clear understanding of the threats facing networks and the right active, comprehensive security controls in place, spammers, scammers, hackers and intelligence agencies will continue to exploit network vulnerabilities – with increasingly serious consequences.
Security can no longer be the afterthought, but the critical strategic investment that is enabling the multi-billion dollar ecosystem of products and services that are reliant on the integrity and security of the networks and devices they use to do business; now, more than ever, networks need active security controls that are continuously adapting to the increasingly complex threat landscape.
AdaptiveMobile protects over 1.5 billion subscribers worldwide today. With deep expertise and a unique focus on network security, our Threat Intelligence Unit and Network Protection Platform are trusted by the world's largest service providers to secure their critical communications infrastructure and services against current and mobile threats and financial exploitation.

The security market will continue to evolve alongside new requirements arising from the Internet of Things, cloud computing and sophisticated targeted attacks. Enterprise security providers can use these predictions to prepare for a market facing increasingly complex and focused assaults.
As the numbers and complexity of available security technologies increase, relative to the skilled professionals available to deploy and manage them, enterprises will look to use security outsourcing services to augment their security program.
By 2019 total enterprise spending on security outsourcing services will be 80% of the spending on security software and hardware products, up from 50% in 2015.
Organizations are realizing that identity is a critical attack vector, and they desire to have increased end-to-end visibility and control over identity-based attack vectors.
New processes that focus on privacy, data security governance and compliance with new regulations are becoming more widely adopted.
Organizations continue to struggle to properly segment and provide adequate access control over their sensitive networks, hosts and applications within their environments beyond the perimeter firewall or segmentation performed at network boundaries.
While security awareness arising from threats targeting mobile device platforms remains below that of traditional endpoints, such as desktops and laptops, selection criteria for consumer security products are increasingly influenced by the availability of capabilities for mobile devices.
Gartner estimates that a new architectural model will evolve, alongside such demands, in which security technology and services will be made available at the device and network layer, characterizing the emergence of security solutions made within endpoints, gateways and IoT platform providers. Capabilities will include software vulnerability assessment, application control, network security, access control and threat intelligence.
Marketing executives should develop a well-defined go-to-market strategy that leverages the expertise and relationships developed by channel partners with industry-specific business models.
AdaptiveMobile Approach
As smarter devices dominate the mobile device landscape, with data usage exploding as consumers, enterprises and machines become more connected to their content and communities and as apps proliferate across an increasingly "open" mobile ecosystem, the Operator has a recognised opportunity to deliver a valuable, high quality, safe, connected service for their customers – a trusted experience for an increasingly large mobile ecosystem.
Trust in a network gives subscribers the confidence to communicate, to collaborate, to consume, transact and explore – safe in the knowledge that they are protected against the loss of their identity, their credit and their reputation. For the growing numbers of content and application providers, it is the trust that their business models are supported, without loss of revenue from invalid refunds or competition over lower-cost messaging routes. As the number of connected devices grows, new security demands will require new security architectures that can detect and enforce protection at scale.
AdaptiveMobile's NPP6 is the world's first converged carrier security platform, providing consistent security irrespective of device, operating system or end-user's technical expertise. Combining the latest data science techniques, machine learning and advanced anomaly detection algorithms, with the Company's world-class threat intelligence services, AdaptiveMobile is working with the industry to bring its expertise to help secure the rapid growth of IoT connectivity.
