Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Telco customers are flooded with scam calls and fraudulent messages that lead to financial losses, customer complaints, and regulatory pressure. Manually maintaining block lists and rule-based filters cannot keep up with evolving fraud patterns, especially at national telco scale.

Value Drivers

Customer trust and retention by visibly reducing scam calls/messagesRegulatory compliance and reduced risk of penalties around fraud and consumer protectionLower call-center and complaint handling costsBrand differentiation as a ‘safe’ and secure networkPotential for new premium ‘secure communications’ or enterprise anti-fraud offerings

Strategic Moat

Access to massive, real-time telco network data (call/SMS metadata, traffic patterns) and feedback loops from blocked/confirmed scams creates a proprietary fraud-detection corpus that is hard for new entrants to replicate quickly.

Differentiation Factor

Deployed directly in the operator’s network stack, allowing real-time blocking of calls and messages at scale, rather than just on-device filtering. Likely combines content analysis, behavioral patterns, and historical fraud intelligence tuned to local languages and scam styles in its markets.
