Cellusys pioneers the use of zero trust security to help their 800 million mobile phone end users combat SMS phishing and fraud.

Cellusys has partnered with internet security firm MetaCert to provide an SMS security solution, using zero trust methodology to combat cyberattacks such as phishing, malware and financial fraud.

With the new approach from Cellusys, every URL contained in an SMS message is checked against MetaCert's threat intelligence system and links categorized as "Dangerous" are immediately blocked.

This approach to web access reduces the risk of a phishing-led cyberattack by more than 98% because consumers are able to make better informed choices about who to trust whenever they open an SMS message.

"Giving subscribers this kind of visibility increases their loyalty to the network, and is a very different kind of smishing solution." said Brendan Cleary, CEO Cellusys "Adding MetaCert's technology to our portfolio has generated a great deal of interest from networks, as an enhancement to the anti-fraud capabilities of our SMS Firewall."
