HOLMDEL, N.J., Dec. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Vonage (NYSE: VG), a global business cloud
communications leader, announced today that it has partnered with
Neustar, a global information services company and leader in
identity resolution, to deploy a certified caller solution within
the Vonage network. This is the latest of many steps Vonage has
taken to address global concerns regarding the proliferation of
illegal spoofing and robocalls.
Vonage shares its customers' concerns about illegal robocalls,
and is committed to providing innovative solutions to protect them
from occurring. Vonage has long provided a Spam Shield solution
that checks incoming calls against a dynamic database of numbers
associated with telemarketing, robocalls and scams. By
incorporating the Neustar Certified Caller solution for automated
caller identity validation, Vonage will now be able to detect and
flag spoofed calls in real-time to protect subscribers from phone
scams and support trusted customer communications.
"We are a strong proponent of efforts to combat illegal
robocalls and caller ID spoofing and applaud the FCC's leadership
in this area through SHAKEN/STIR guidelines," said Sanjay Macwan, SVP Enterprise Engineering &
Networks and Chief Information Security Officer for Vonage. "By
partnering with Neustar, we are building upon our strong
infrastructure and existing safeguards and solutions to further
enhance our customers' experience."
Neustar is the industry leader in caller identification
solutions, co-author of STIR standards and key contributor to the
SHAKEN framework.
"Subscribers deserve support and protections from their carrier
to help them control their connections and avoid unwanted or
dangerous calls. Neustar and Vonage share a common commitment to
supporting the industry in combating illegal robocalling and
call-spoofing with the aim of restoring trust in phone calls," said
James Garvert, Neustar Senior Vice
President and General Manager of Caller Identification Solutions.
"We are pleased to be partnering with Vonage to implement the
latest SHAKEN/STIR call authentication standards and support
positive, secure and trusted communications for their
subscribers."
Vonage continues to collaborate with the FCC on implementation
of SHAKEN/STIR, and was a speaker at the FCC's SHAKEN/STIR 2019
Summit, during which participants discussed and explored a variety
of potential solutions to the illegal robocalling/spoofing
issues.
