ATON said on the 26th it will supply a malicious text pre-blocking platform to NICE D&S.
According to ATON, service providers that send large volumes of texts on behalf of corporations (special value-added telecommunications service providers) must have a system to filter malicious texts to maintain their business registration. Under the system implemented in Apr., it has become a mandatory requirement to obtain sender qualification certification and build a malicious text pre-blocking system. ATON said NICE D&S preemptively met these requirements by adopting ATON's platform.
ATON's malicious text pre-blocking platform first uses "BUF," operated in the cloud, to receive malicious URL information from KISA and determine in real time whether a L.I.N.C contained in a text is dangerous. Then "MTQS," installed in the sending system, filters out banned words such as gambling and loans and blocks listed numbers.
This structure allows compliance with the banned-word and URL blocking requirements of sender qualification certification without changing the existing sending system. It also lets users check which texts were filtered and why, and keep them as reports, which businesses can use when they need to prove their actions.
Following NICE D&S, ATON is discussing adoption with multiple text-sending service providers and plans to expand supply in line with demand to meet sender qualification certification.
Woo Gil-su, CEO of ATON, said, "For internet text-sending service providers, malicious text pre-blocking is no longer optional but a basic requirement to maintain service," adding, "We will combine proven detection capabilities with designs tailored to real operating environments to help providers meet the requirements without compromising sending quality."
