However, social media and the Internet can be easily abused to propagate incorrect or inappropriate information, including damaging propaganda that can lead to violence and riots. Targeted cyberattacks can disrupt and damage governmental, financial and digital assets. Worst of all, new technologies help criminals to evade law enforcement agencies. ## The Need Regulatory compliance has become mission critical for national authorities and Communication Service Providers (CSPs) due to increased cyberthreats such as offensive, criminal or unethical on-line activities, and attacks on communications infrastructure. Regulations aimed at protecting the general population often require network operators to capture, analyze and retain records of application usage, as well as block harmful content, sites and applications and safeguard communication infrastructure against denial of service attacks. ![Video](https://www.allot.com/resources/CSP_RegulatoryCompliance_962x541-2.jpg) “We are committed to protecting our citizens from online harm, and the Allot solution gives us the tools to carry out this mission."
