Shush
Shush Sherlock
Shush emerged with the mission of helping MNOs monetize their existing network infrastructure investments via open network APIs, focusing on reducing mobile fraud. According to our Network API Segment Addressable Market Opportunity Analysis, the current market opportunity for network APIs stands at $12.6 billion with the potential to expand to more than $20 billion.
But, these revenue estimates of market opportunity are limited to the exposure of Network APIs by 33 MNOs. Worldwide, there are 1,000 MNOs, so there is tremendous opportunity for greater expansion if more MNOs participated.

Shush’s mission is to expand the supply of MNOs participating in the Network Authentication ecosystem to meet the current and growing demand for Network Authentication attributes. Key focus areas for the GSMA Open Gateway initiative include digital security and fraud prevention use cases — such as confirmation of whether the device is roaming and the country it is in (device status) and authentication of the mobile device by the mobile network (number verification).
These functionalities could position mobile network operators as providers of trusted communications enabling a secure customer experience for enterprise organizations. Additionally, there is a growing, worldwide regulator environment that prevents SMS OTP for device authentication since it is not secure and is prone to smishing and phishing campaigns.
