In the digital age, trust is a currency just as valuable as any other financial asset. For businesses like ours at Prescott-Martini, safeguarding this trust while enhancing operational efficiency is at the core of what we do. We specialize in distinguishing legitimate calls from fraudulent ones, offering a robust defense against compliance failures and scams through our advanced technological solutions. The implementation of STIR/SHAKEN protocols is a revolutionary step in our journey towards a more secure telecommunications environment.

STIR (Secure Telephone Identity Revisited) and SHAKEN (Signature-based Handling of Asserted Information Using toKENs) are the frameworks forming the backbone of our caller ID authentication processes. These protocols are designed to ensure that every call passing through our network is rigorously verified, thereby reinstating trust in phone communication systems. As a result, we can significantly diminish the volume of illegal or fraudulent calls, effectively driving these numbers down to near zero.

The Mechanics of STIR/SHAKEN Attestation

STIR/SHAKEN protocols work by validating a call’s origin and ensuring the integrity of the caller ID information before it reaches the consumer. Every call initiated is given a digital signature by the originating carrier; this signature is then verified by the terminating carrier before the call is connected to the recipient. This process helps to confirm that the caller ID has not been spoofed, a common tactic used in scam operations.

At Prescott-Martini, we have integrated STIR/SHAKEN into our suite of verification tools to provide an unparalleled level of security. By monitoring calls electronically and recording anomalies using AI, machine learning, and human intelligence, we can identify and mitigate potential fraud almost instantaneously.

Real-Time Fraud Detection

Imagine receiving a call that seems to come from a reputable organization asking for sensitive information. With STIR/SHAKEN, we can instantly determine whether this call is compliant and legitimate or if it's a potential threat. Our systems are equipped to recognize even the most sophisticated scams, such as the prevalent Amazon charge scam, which alone accounted for $27 million in fraud last year in the U.S.

Our real-time processing capabilities mean that the moment a suspicious call is detected, it can be stopped. This immediate response is vital not only for protecting individual consumers but also for maintaining the integrity of the entire telecommunications network.

Beyond Compliance: Enhancing Business Operations

Implementing STIR/SHAKEN is not just about compliance with FCC regulations—it's about offering peace of mind to businesses and their customers. By ensuring that every call on our network is verified, we help businesses avoid the hefty fines associated with non-compliance and the operational disruptions that follow scam attacks.

Furthermore, our sophisticated monitoring tools also assist in reducing the financial and operating burden faced by the industry’s Traceback Group, tasked with tracking the origin of illegal calls. By decreasing the number of fraud and scam calls, we minimize the need for costly investigations and interventions.
