The present invention discloses a system and a method for securing the privacy of cellular network subscribers and the security of data stored on the said subscribers' User Cellular Devices (UCDs). The system comprises a Controlled Cellular Network (CCN), interfacing a cellular Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), hosting a plurality of cellular subscribers. The said CCN system provides said security services to "serviced subscribers" of the hosting PLMN. The CCN encapsulates communication between UCDs of serviced subscribers and the hosting PLMN, including at least part of: control, signaling, SMS and data communications. The CCN is configured to identify security threats to the privacy of serviced subscribers and to the data stored on their UCDs, and determine said threats' category and probability, based on analysis of said encapsulated communication. CCN is configured to respond to said threats in real or near-real time, and take active measures to avert said suspected threats.
