As an industry leader in end-user verification, Telesign helps web and mobile applications verify their users every day through easy-to-integrate APIs and SDKs. While our best-in-class verification services can be used independently to build secure authentication experiences, it is even more valuable to pair our verification solutions with our Intelligence API, which provides companies with an added layer of defense against fraud attacks
Telesign’s Intelligence API delivers a phone number risk recommendation using machine learning to analyze phone number data, enabling companies to make smarter decisions regarding which interactions to consider blocking and which interactions require further evaluation before processing.
When companies use Telesign’s SMS Verify API in conjunction with Intelligence, they are implementing a comprehensive and reliable end-user account security solution that protects their customers and platform.
Reliably verify your customers from around the world
At its core, Telesign offers reliable and secure verification services that allow seamless user authentication across various digital platforms. Unlike many other SMS service providers, Telesign offers an extensive approach to meet diverse communication needs.
We use high quality, direct-to-carrier routes that connect directly to thousands of carriers around the world and employ a waterfall approach across multiple routes to help ensure optimal delivery and conversion rates. Moreover, with our reliable global coverage, you can reach and ensure message delivery to customers in over 200 countries and territories and in 87 different languages.
Detect fraud threats before authenticating
When it comes to securing customer accounts while also protecting your platform, the key lies in harnessing the power of intelligence embedded within phone numbers.
Telesign Intelligence leverages advanced algorithms and data analysis techniques to calculate a risk recommendation for a phone number, which is complemented by a set of insights and reason codes to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the phone number’s risk factors at that moment in time.
When Intelligence provides a recommendation of “allow” for a phone number, the optional next step is to send a one-time passcode (OTP) via SMS message that the user then provides in order to verify their identity or transactional activity.
By leveraging the Intelligence API in conjunction with the SMS Verify API, companies benefit from a seamless integration that delivers both phone number risk recommendation, and comprehensive verification and authentication.
