Shelton, CT, January 6, 2025 — TMC, a global, integrated media company helping clients build communities in print, in person and online, today announced Veriswitch’s SmartShield as the winner of its latest INTERNET TELEPHONY Editor's Choice Award.
The telecom industry is the cornerstone of modern business; yet, it faces a relentless and evolving threat from fraud. From simple call center scams to sophisticated attacks exploiting network vulnerabilities, telecom fraud inflicts significant financial losses on businesses and individuals alike. Last year, the U.S. experienced an unprecedented loss due to call fraud of more than $10 billion – a 14% increase from 2022. The continued growth of this threat, due in no small part to the evolution of artificial intelligence technologies and a lack of solutions to effectively identify and mitigate call fraud, erodes trust in the telecom industry and business communications. As technology continues to evolve, bad actors continue to become more sophisticated, creating an imperative for telecom operators and carriers to also invest in better, more advanced technologies to more effectively detect and prevent call fraud.
VeriSwitch’s groundbreaking product, SmartShield, has been recognized with the prestigious INTERNET TELEPHONY Magazine Editor’s Choice Award for Telecom Security. SmartShield is Veriswitch’s newest addition to its complete carrier management solution leveraging advanced AI to deliver comprehensive behavioral and contextual analysis of calls on telecom networks to accurately identify fraudulent activity. Unlike other solutions that claim to provide similar results, SmartShield’s AI sits in the middle of the call path, enabling real-time fraud detection based on analysis of behavioral patterns, contextual cues, speech patterns, and other anomalies as they happen, rather than post-call analysis of recordings and static keyword detection. With SmartShield, Veriswitch delivers actionable intelligence and an effective solution for combating growing telecom fraud, taking a significant step towards closing the gap between what STIR/SHAKEN was supposed to do and what it has actually accomplished.
"Congratulations to Veriswitch for earning the INTERNET TELEPHONY Magazine Editor’s Choice Award for Telecom Security," said Rich Tehrani, CEO of TMC (News - Alert). "SmartShield stands out as an innovative solution that addresses the critical need for advanced security in today’s telecom landscape. Its ability to protect networks from evolving threats while maintaining seamless performance truly exemplifies excellence, and we are proud to recognize Veriswitch for their leadership in this space."
This accolade highlights SmartShield's innovative approach to safeguarding telecommunications networks, delivering unmatched protection against emerging threats. With its advanced AI-driven threat detection, real-time response capabilities, and seamless integration into existing telecom infrastructures, SmartShield has set a new standard in telecom security. The awards also underscores VeriSwitch's commitment to empowering businesses with cutting-edge solutions that ensure secure and reliable communications in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
