Problem
Traditional SMS-based mobile authentication methods are vulnerable to fraud, such as SIM swap attacks and SMS spoofing, and offer a cumbersome user experience. Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) possess valuable network data that could enhance security and streamline authentication, but lack a standardized platform to monetize this asset.
Solution
Shush provides a cloud-agnostic platform that enables MNOs to offer secure mobile authentication through standardized APIs, improving user experience and preventing fraud. The platform bridges the gap between the demand for network authentication from financial institutions and CPaaS partners and the valuable network data held by MNOs. Shush Sherlock, the core of the platform, retrieves network attribute data to facilitate silent authentication, SIM swap detection, and device status checks. The platform also provides a monetization layer for MNOs to unlock the value of their network by setting the price and access to APIs.
Target Audience
The primary customers are Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) seeking to monetize their network data and offer secure authentication services, as well as financial institutions and CPaaS partners requiring robust authentication solutions.
