The Protect module is an optional module that facilitates the filtering of unwanted messaging traffic that is considered to be spam or fraud, or which contains undesirable content and viruses.

As many fraud threats originate outside of the home network, this module can intercept mobile terminating traffic entering the network via interconnect partners or roaming partners.

Protect can also stop spoofed and faked messages that are impossible to bill, ensuring that network bandwidth is freed up for revenue generating traffic. It also ensures that content providers cannot bypass revenue share arrangements.

Protect prevents revenue leakage and maximizes messaging revenues.
