Enea celebrates 20th anniversary of AdaptiveMobile Security

Enea is celebrating the 20th Anniversary of AdaptiveMobile Security and two decades of protecting mobile communications.

Enea AdaptiveMobile Security has been there every step of the way. Born 20 years ago in the suburb of Dun Laoghaire in Dublin, Ireland, and then incubated in the Guinness Enterprise Centre as AdaptiveMobile Security, the founding team pioneered key mobile network security solutions, covering signaling security, messaging security and fraud protection. As cyberattacks became more sophisticated and international in scale, the global threat intelligence service was launched, where a combination of machine learning (AI) and analysts handle massive volumes of messages and signals every day to uncover anomalies and isolate credible threats from other noise.

The company is credited with the discovery of major threats such as SimJacker and HiddenArt, and brought them to the attention of the industry through active participation in industry fora such as the GSMA and Mobile Ecosystem Forum, which have likewise had a strong influence on how the mobile industry has identified and addressed emerging security issues.  

Today, as an integral part of Enea, the leading Swedish listed telecom and cybersecurity software specialist which counts as customers more than 100 mobile telecom operators, along with leading CPaaS providers, aggregators, software vendors, and government agencies, the company’s software is relied on by more than 4.5 billion people every day when using their mobile phones or connecting to the internet.

We have thrived because of our unique ability to anticipate change and to develop solutions that enable our customers to stay one step ahead of not only their rivals but also the rapidly evolving and increasingly international field of cybercriminals and bad actors,says John Hughes, SVP and Head of Enea AdaptiveMobile Security.

While we have expanded internationally, we have kept our roots in Dublin, and we are uniquely positioned as a telecoms and cybersecurity specialist, which makes us attractive to key talent and a trusted and stable partner to operators worldwide.

Through the acquisition of AdaptiveMobile Security in 2021, Enea broadened its telecoms and cybersecurity software offering, which also includes solutions for subscriber databases, data management, traffic classification, traffic management, policy control, Wi-Fi, and Internet of Things service management.
