This Service Category (NIaaS) is Newly Created by netnumber to Ensure the Market Can Effectively Leverage Real-Time Data Insights Amid Growing Fraud and Regulatory Requirements
BOSTON — May 29, 2024 — In response to the growing importance of accurate, real-time, normalized phone number data in circumventing telecom fraud, netnumber unveils a new breed of data solution: Number Intelligence as a Service. Distinguished by a wholly new industry term, NIaaS, this new netnumber capability provides a holistic, accessible platform for both delivering mission-critical phone number intelligence data and discussing the topic within the broader industry landscape.
“The industry is actively pursuing innovative approaches to controlling the wide variety of fraud schemes that continue to escalate and increase in sophistication,” said Steve Legge, CEO of netnumber, the world-leading provider of phone number intelligence data. “In analyzing these activities, it’s clear that one constant cuts across all these malicious techniques – the phone number,” he added.
With NIaaS, netnumber empowers its range of customers to harness the power of next-generation insight into their communications ecosystem at the phone number level, helping to reduce fraud at the source by giving convenient access to key attributes like operator and line type information, porting history, phone number behaviors, reachability insights, risk assessments and much more. From account protection and validation to fraud prevention, NIaaS delivers an accessible, easy, comprehensive platform for cultivating advanced verification protocols and protecting communications ecosystems with the help of accurate, real-time data.
“Fraudsters key in on the phone number as a unique identifier that can be exploited for illegal gain. That makes verifying the accuracy of phone numbers in real time critical to combatting this problem as well as to meeting growing regulatory requirements,” said Legge.
Banks, internet service providers and enterprises of all sorts now leverage end-user phone numbers as verification sources and avenues for rich brand communications, which means protecting the integrity and reliability of the phone number is vital for continued global success. netnumber remains a committed steward of this goal, cultivating rich data resources and accumulating some of the largest and most highly adopted tools within the mobile ecosystem. Today, the company provides granular, normalized intelligence for all 10+ billion phone numbers in the world. By encapsulating this data into an as-a-service model, the company further supports a rapidly evolving communications landscape, mitigating fraud with NIaaS’s ability to optimize provisioning, routing and fraud prevention measures. This includes added protection from even sophisticated instances of Artificially Inflated Traffic (AIT), brand impersonation, account takeover, spoofing and more.
By receiving phone number intelligence data at near instantaneous speeds, carriers, enterprises, financial institutions and more can reliably and accurately validate phone numbers in real time from any country in the world to screen for potential fraud. In this way, NIaaS stands to become one of the most notable steps forward for mobile communications in today’s industry landscape.
