The growing trend of data traffic in mobile networks brings new security threats such as malwares, botnets, premium SMS frauds etc, and these threats affect the network resources in terms of revenue as well as performance. Some end user devices are using antivirus and anti-malware clients for protection against malware attacks, but the malicious activity affects mobile network elements as well. Therefore, a network based malware detection system, such as Mobile Guard, is essential in detecting malicious activities within a network, as well as protecting end users from malware attacks that are propagated through mobile operator's network.
