Beeline Russia, a Vimpelcom's subsiadiary has selected Cloudmark's suite of messaging security software solutions to provide its subscribers with the industry’s fastest and most accurate spam, phishing and virus protection. Cloudmark highlights that since the solution has been implemented, Beeline subscribers are receiving up to 12 times less spam, resulting in just one spam SMS per month per subscriber.
Cloudmark, the global leader in messaging threat protection for communication service providers, said that its suite of solutions will protect Beeline’s 56.3 million mobile customers from spam, phishing and malware attacks across email, SMS, and MMS. Cloudmark added that its carrier-grade filtering engine, Cloudmark Authority, and high-performance botnet monitoring, alerting and remediation platform, Cloudmark Security Platform, will enable Beeline to increase customer traction and provide additional value to existing customers.
“As one of three largest operators in Russia, Beeline needed a solution that could adhere to its sophisticated technical requirements. This is largely due to a complex Russian spam landscape, where government and customers are placing increasing pressure on mobile operators to reduce spam. Particularly, recent examples of spam in Russia include fraudulent phishing, such as messages that appear to have come from official sources like Visa, and loan scams, such as pay day loan spam, targeting people struggling to pay their day to day living costs.

“Since November 2013, we have waged a tough fight against those who are sending millions of unwanted SMS spam to our subscribers. The nature and format of this spam is constantly changing and so we needed to implement a solution that would be able to respond quickly to latest revisions and new threats to protect our subscribers from the annoying and often dangerous SMS threats coming through from other mobile networks. It forms a key part of our promise to protect and care for our customers. Since the first phase of implementation, we have been able to drastically reduce the amount of spam, and we will continue to work with Cloudmark to ensure customers feel as confident as possible when using our services.”
