Advanced Fraud Prevention Solutions

Vonage SIM Swap Detection mitigates account takeover attempts by identifying recent SIM card changes in real time. A part of the Vonage Identity Insights offering, this critical layer of defense addresses the growing threat of sophisticated fraud tactics. In 2025 alone, Canada reported 33,854 fraud cases, resulting in $544 million in losses, according to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. With unauthorized SIM swaps surging by over 1,000 percent, Vonage SIM Swap Detection enhances fraud detection rates by 30-40 percent, enabling businesses to stay ahead of evolving threats.

Vonage's Silent Authentication, part of the Vonage Verify API, provides a more secure and seamless way to authenticate users inside the app without requiring one-time passcodes. It leverages mobile network intelligence exposed by carriers to verify a user's phone number and SIM association through the device's active mobile data session. This approach enhances security by eliminating vulnerabilities like phishing, social engineering, and AIT attacks while improving user experience by reducing friction during authentication.

Leadership Perspectives

Christophe Van de Weyer, President and Head of Business Unit API at Vonage, stated: "As generative AI evolves and fraud tooling is becoming increasingly available, fraudsters are becoming increasingly more sophisticated, outpacing traditional security measures. This makes network-based verification a critical component for modern enterprises. This launch marks yet another important milestone in Vonage's mission to empower enterprises to combat fraud while delivering end users a frictionless customer experience."

EnStream and Aduna Perspectives

Upinder Saini, President and CEO of EnStream, added: "Digital fraud is no longer a niche issue – it's something that affects Canadians in their everyday lives, from banking to online services. Through EnStream's exclusive access to Canada's major mobile networks, we're able to provide real-time network intelligence at a nationwide scale. By working with Vonage to deliver these capabilities through standardized APIs, organizations can leverage carrier-grade data to strengthen identity verification and prevent fraud more effectively."

Anthony Bartolo, CEO of Aduna, commented: "The collaboration between telcos, aggregators, and developer platform providers is essential to driving the future of digital security. As a joint venture of leading telecom players, Aduna serves as a key aggregator of mobile network API capabilities. Partnering with Vonage as a developer platform provider, we empower developers with access to these tools through Vonage's APIs and SDKs."

Our collaboration with Vonage highlights the vital role of network-driven security solutions in protecting today's enterprises from emerging threats."
