Vonage, a part of Ericsson announced the commercial launch of its network-powered solutions for fraud prevention in Canada, offering developers and enterprises advanced fraud prevention capabilities across the nation’s largest carrier networks. These capabilities are made possible through Vonage’s network APIs, connecting to Canadian carriers, via Aduna’s integration with EnStream, a joint venture of Bell, Rogers and TELUS – Canada’s trusted mobile identity and network-data consortium – providing secure and authoritative access to real-time telco signals across the ecosystem.
Leveraging SIM Swap Detection and the Silent Authentication API, these solutions utilize real-time mobile network data to verify identity and detect fraudulent practices – protecting consumers from account takeover attempts, without disrupting the user experience.
Powered by mobile network operators, network APIs enable applications to securely access and act on real-time network capabilities and intelligence. These standardized interfaces grant developers access to untapped resources like network data, seamless authentication, and mobile connectivity – simplifying development, enhancing scalability, and enabling innovative, real-time solutions that leverage real-time network data to detect and prevent threats. EnStream’s role as the unified gateway for secure telco data in Canada further strengthens this ecosystem, ensuring nationwide coverage and consistent security standards across all major carriers.
