Protecting recipients of the message

When Neil Cook addressed the crowd listening to him at their first-ever media conference in the Philippines, he asked everyone, “Have you noticed a day that went by without you receiving a nuisance advertising or some form of text scam? Perhaps not.” Indeed, with that query, he made most of us realize that among others, this is one of the things we have had to deal with—and simply brushed off—as we go about our daily grind. While most of us would simply just ignore and delete such messages, Cook warned that the magnitude of these types will escalate in time to an extent that would be unmanageable. He should know. As the chief technology officer (CTO) of Cloudmark, that is precisely the work they seek to do—help the telecommunication companies block these nuisance texts and prevent them from reaching their customers.
