LATRO is a globally recognised leader in data-driven revenue protection and business optimisation solutions for the telecommunications and fintech industries. It has just launched Scammer Shield, giving mobile network operators a new means of addressing the rise of SMS scam messages – one that complements their existing tools and technology.
CEO Don Reinhart tells Keith Dyer the product leverages AI-embedded technology as well as LATRO’s expertise in the telecoms signalling stack.
“The good news for mobile operators is they do not have to rip and replace existing infrastructure. This is an additional layer that complements their existing investment, adding the additional innovative capability that is needed to fight sophisticated scamming effects.”
Reinhart describes Scammer Shield as a flexible solution that evolved from the company’s technology stack that was first developed team years ago to address SIMbox issues.
“The stack has matured and will continue to be flexible to adapt to changes in scam message methodology,” he says. “Anyone that has been in the fraud industry knows it is constantly changing, as technology changes. We provide a complementary layer that operators can install that provides additional flexible controls.”
Reinhart says the product is already rolled out with several early customers.
