Call center operators must verify the identity of reporters to detect attempted identity theft. In addition to their proven ineffectiveness, existing processes using Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA) create frustrating delays with legitimate subscribers, and ultimately jeopardize the customer experience.

Thales’ automated voice recognition solution is completely transparent and invisible to callers, requiring no intervention or training from call center staff. As a result of a partnership between Thales and ID R&D, this voice recognition solution makes it possible to detect fraudsters trying to portray themselves as customers. The voices of the callers are quickly matched against the stored voiceprints of known scammers and individuals with suspicious call patterns. Delivering strong performance in addressing key benchmark challenges in the NIST* 2019 speaker recognition assessments, ID R&D technology has been recognized as delivering unprecedented accuracy, speed, and reliability.

Thales voice messaging also enables optimal authentication legitimate clients. User consent opens the door to secure access to personalized service offerings. Following a recent implementation by a major mobile operator, Thales’ voice biometrics has proven to be particularly effective in identifying fraudulent messengers and has now been expanded to new use cases by authenticating existing users, thus replacing usernames and passwords, while respecting local regulations regarding for privacy.
