Zipwhip Chooses AdaptiveMobile to Keep Its Fast-Growing Enterprise-to-Person (E2P) Text Messaging Service Abuse-Free

AdaptiveMobile, the world leader in mobile security, today announced that Zipwhip, the leader in enterprise-to-person (E2P) communications, has selected the company’s Network Platform Protection (NPP) and Messaging Security Product for protection across North America. Zipwhip is the backbone for E2P messaging in the United States. All SMS and MMS traffic from wireless carriers to toll-free phone numbers and most business landline numbers are routed through Zipwhip. Zipwhip has achieved impressive growth with virtually no instances of unsolicited messages, spam or other threats, and the company has chosen AdaptiveMobile to keep its customers’ communications abuse-free. Other service providers have followed Zipwhip’s decision to choose AdaptiveMobile’s Messaging Security Solution, making it the leading choice for E2P messaging protection in North America.

Zipwhip’s cloud-based texting platform lets businesses add text messaging to any existing landline or toll-free phone number. Incoming texts are routed to a computer, tablet or smartphone. For companies in any industry – but especially those in insurance, automotive, staffing, fitness, transportation, radio and healthcare – Zipwhip provides an easy, cost-effective way to reach customers using their preferred method of communication: text message.

“Customers love text messaging, and it is a powerful way to communicate, provided the customer receives only sanctioned messages from brands they trust,” said John Lauer, CEO and Co-Founder of Zipwhip. “AdaptiveMobile understands the damage that spam can do, and the company’s technology is a powerful means to make sure the Zipwhip network remains abuse-free.”

“As the emerging leader in a space we expect to grow exponentially in North America, Zipwhip is the type of innovative customer we seek,” said Brian Collins, CEO of AdaptiveMobile. “Zipwhip is transforming the way that companies interact with customers by allowing enterprise-to-person texting. AdaptiveMobile can draw on its decade-long experience in the mobile security industry, knowledge of threat prevention, and carrier-grade technology to help make sure this growth occurs in an environment that is free of unsolicited communications.”

Tyfone teams with IQT for mobile security

 

Tyfone to bring mobile security solutions to US government

Tyfone, developer of mobile softwarMobile Security partnershipe and NFC technology, has entered into an agreement with In-Q-Tel (IQT), a non-profit group that promotes innovative technologies for the U.S. government. Together, the two companies plan to promote mobile security and NFC technology solutions for use by the federal government. IQT notes that Tyfone boasts of an impressive portfolio of these solutions, as well as a long history of leveraging these solutions to the benefit of its customers in numerous industries.

Mobile security continues to grow in importance

Mobile security is becoming an increasingly important issue, especially for the federal government. Government officials, especially those working in agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, rely heavily on mobile devices such as smart phones in daily operations. Important information is often trafficked through these mobile devices, which make them a prime target for hackers and parties interested in stealing such information. IQT believes that the mobile security solutions developed by Tyfone have the capability to address the long standing security problems that exist in the mobile space.

NFC platform could secure financial transactions

Beyond the federal government, Tyfone offers a mobile commerce platform that makes use of NFC technology. This technology is capable of turning a mobile device into a digital wallet or payment platform, allowing consumers to purchase products with nothing but their smart phone. Tyfone notes that its NFC platform has been used to process more than 7 million secure financial transactions. IQT believes that the platform could be of some use to the federal government, as Tyfone’s cloud computing network, which operates the NFC platform, could help secure transactions made by federal officials.

IQT promotes the use of Tyfone solutions

The Tyfone network is capable of securing a wide variety of mobile channels. IQT believes that incorporating the company’s platform could help secure highly sensitive information, financial data, and government networks. Tyfone’s solutions may help boost mobile security in the U.S. government, if federal agencies and government officials are keen to adopt and make use of the platform extensively.
