Numeracle/Aegis Mobile Offer Solution for Identity Verification

Identify management solution company Numercle has teamed up with compliance service provider Aegis Mobile to offer customers a comprehensive verification solution for business communications. The announcement comes only a month before a deadline mandated by the FCC, forcing service providers to provide call identification software for improved caller accuracy.

The solution, Numeracle's Entity Identity Management™, allows BPO organizations and call centers to better manage phone number usage so they aline with local policies. With this technology communication providers can verify business identities and legal operational status, to provide callers with protection from fraudulent activity. The need for improved verification comes from the rise in spam/robo calls that have surged in recent years, focing the FCC to retaliate in an effort to prevent attacks on customer data.

"The FCC's Enforcement Bureau issued two more cease-and-desist letters to voice service providers suspected of facilitating illegal robocalls this month," said Rebekah Johnson, Founder & CEO, Numeracle. "As a service provider, you are responsible for the clients utilizing your communications framework. Numeracle's and Aegis's identity verification technologies answer the service provider 'call to action' to implement a local policy solution to verify clients' identities and telephone number authorization in support of FCC robocall mitigation initiatives."

Both companies have decades of experience in providing business clients with verification tools, making the collaboration a perfect match to address the alarming rise in phone scams. Though scammers are using more sophisticated methods to bypass other security measures, advanced verification tools can give users more resources to prevent malicious callers from getting through.

"Combining Numeracle's innovative approach to authenticating the relationship between a brand, its phone numbers, and its communications infrastructure with our ability to verify the identity and legitimacy of any business entity creates a powerful tool critical to protecting Americans from illegally spoofed robocalls," said John Bruner, CEO, Aegis. "This partnership provides a flexible, fully-auditable local policy solution for service providers to identify and address bad actor traffic on the network while mitigating risk."
