Telecom Egypt has announced that, ever since it deployed Enea’s voice firewall to protect against scam calls and unwanted robocalls, more than 90% of incoming calls with spoofed caller IDs have disappeared from its network. When the firewall solution was initially deployed, 8+% of all calls were identified as fraudulent and immediately blocked. This has acted as a deterrent to scammers, who have now ceased targeting the network, resulting in a roughly 90% reduction in spoof calls on the network.
To protect its subscribers, Telecom Egypt has deployed Enea’s voice firewall, a cutting-edge solution that operates on a zero-trust approach. It accurately detects and blocks any spoofed calls coming into the network, ensuring that only genuine calls reach the subscribers and preventing scams at the very first stage before potential victims are reached.
John Hughes, SVP and Head of Network Security Business Group, Enea
From the global threat intelligence we collect and analyze, we see an increase in caller ID spoofing worldwide, impacting millions of subscribers and businesses every year and eroding trust in communication systems. By taking a proactive approach to network security, Telecom Egypt shows strong security leadership driven by its commitment to protecting subscribers from harm.
Mohamed Al Fowey, Vice President, Chief Technology Officer, Telecom Egypt
Protecting our subscribers is a strategic priority. Improving end-user security to mitigate fraud and abuse in our network adds value to all our users. Enea is instrumental in our work to secure our network against voice call threats such as caller ID spoofing.
