Robocalls and Imposter Scams in the Market Are on the Rise

The number of telephony-based fraud schemes, robocalls and imposter scams in the market are on the rise at an alarming rate. Service providers are challenged to regulate these fraudulent activities and protect their customers with anti-spoofing technologies. 

The industry has responded initially with STIR/SHAKEN, which is an important first step but not a foolproof solution. There is a need for more comprehensive fraud detection and notification capabilities to provide ultimate protection for customers.
