Question: Is there a service that helps mobile operators monetize traffic by detecting and stopping grey route abuse?

If you're a mobile operator trying to find a way to cash in on traffic by spotting grey route abuse and blocking it, DCBprotect is a mature option.

Another option is Cloudmark, a threat protection service that guards against email and mobile messaging attacks with a machine learning technology that predicts attacks. It offers Security Operation Centers, Threat Insight, Mobile Messaging Security and a Cloudmark Cloud for Mobile. That means Mobile Operators and ISPs can monitor for regulatory compliance, squeeze more revenue out of messaging assets and offer carrier-grade messaging protection and visibility.
