Global Message Services (GMS), an international messaging service provider has joined forces with leading telecom security solutions provider, Cellusys, to offer A2P revenue assurance through comprehensive SMS security and control.
The integrated solution with on-board analytics improves quality of service and protects mobile network operators against SMS frauds and revenue leakage in messaging.
GMS is a global messaging company serving as a single point of access for messaging traffic exchange with all mobile operators and enterprises. The Cellusys SMS Firewall uses advanced analytics and classification technology to control SMS traffic in the network including SMPP and all other access and entry points for SMS. The firewall provides a complete solution for both SMS security as well as A2P monetisation as it is able to detect and block not only grey routes, but also SMS SIM boxes, spam, smishing, spoofing and other attacks. For additional protection, a radical new approach to protect subscribers from smishing attempts can be deployed. Based on the Zero Trust model, and leveraging patented URL classification technology, this solution protects subscribers from trojans, malware, adware and ransomware.
The SMS Firewall is part of the Cellusys Unified Signalling Firewall platform, which offers cross-protocol signalling security over SS7, Diameter, GTP, and SIP protocols to address messaging, data, and voice threats all in one platform. Cellusys Call Control, the newest addition to the suite of security and anti-fraud products, acts as a voice firewall to protect against flash calls, IRSF, wangiri, call spoofing, voice SIM boxes, and other call fraud which undercut operator revenues.

Cellusys is one of the market leaders in security, anti-fraud, and roaming solutions. Their versatile solutions are helping us deliver best in class services to GMS customers.
Brendan Cleary, Cellusys CEO
GMS is an ideal partner for us because we are absolutely aligned in our shared goal to maximise operator revenue by offering complete signalling security and control. A2P SMS is a big part of this story, however, there is much work to be done in eliminating voice fraud and other revenue drains such as wangiri and flash calls.
