In this exclusive MEF TV interview at the Future of Mobile Summit during MWC24, Brad Greer, Vice President of Data Solutions & Product Marketing at netnumber, discusses how number intelligence is helping US enterprises to combat rampant malpractice.

Fraud is an issue for every country in the world. But the US is home to a particularly pernicious version of the threat. Spam calling, spam messaging, baiting and account take-over is particularly evident here.

Fortunately, there are ways to defend against it. One is number intelligence. It’s a very technical area which is actually pretty easy to summarise. In short, if you know a lot about the history and provenance of a phone number, you can have a pretty good idea of whether to trust it. US provider netnumber gives companies the tools to perform these checks.

In this interview with MEF TV, netnumber’s Brad Greer expanded on the fightback against the criminals, and also looked ahead to new threats such as AI-inspired ‘accidental fraud’.
