Localized Threat Defense: A Key Advantage for Telcos
Agenda
What You Will Learn in This Webinar
Threat detection is often seen as a purely technical function. But Whalebone’s regional approach shows how it can become a growth lever. In this session, you will see how localized insights help telcos:
- Launch and promote security products tailored to each market
- Drive adoption by addressing the real concerns of local users
- Deliver proof of value through clear, localized data
- Differentiate your services, even in highly competitive regions
In this session, Robert Sefr will explore how Whalebone approaches Regional Threat Intelligence – the core capability that allows us to detect and block emerging threats, even in regions where just a few communications providers benefit from our protection.
Using real case studies from South America and Asia, Robert will walk participants through:
- How can a European company understand all the local specifics of the threat intelligence landscape?
- How Whalebone identifies and blocks active smishing and phishing campaigns in South America and Asia – while competitors remain blind to it.
- How Whalebone uses AI to analyze internet metadata and detect threat patterns unique to a given market.
- The role of integration with local CERTs
- How we turn regional threat data into actionable reports for marketing and communications teams – not just security departments.
How Whalebone incorporates language, context, and local feedback into scalable protection across DNS.
Geographical distribution of cyber threats in 2024 successfully thwarted by Whalebone. Note the highlighted countries, which host some of the world’s largest cloud and hosting infrastructures widely used across the globe, are not necessarily the source of the cyber threats displayed.
