As a leader in Internet security for data, the client was becoming increasingly aware of their own organization’s vulnerability to criminal intrusions that could take place through the relatively unprotected voice channel.

The Story
As a current customer, the client again turned to Mutare to address concerns over the security of their voice network. After attending a Mutare webinar on Voice Traffic Filter, the client recognized the severity of their voice spam problem and agreed to a Voice Traffic Assessment (VTA) to measure the level of spam activity in their network. The results revealed that 24% of incoming calls were robocalls or other forms of spam. With that data, the customer moved forward with a 60-day full Proof of Concept trial that not only verified the results of the VTA but provided additional details related to their cybersecurity risk exposure. The POC data also indicated patterns of spam storm activity that prompted the company’s IT engineers to reevaluate their entire network call flow structure to mitigate the reach of predictive dialer spammers. The Mutare Voice Traffic Filter also enabled individual employees to create their own block lists of unwanted callers, further relieving IT of excessive spam-related trouble tickets. When looking at implementation, the customer recognized that upgrading their legacy Mutare voicemail-to-email application to the full-featured Mutare Voice call completion solution would allow for simple integration of the Voice Traffic Filter and streamlined management of both voicemail and spam filtering from a single interface. Convinced of the Voice Traffic Filter’s value to their organization, the client moved forward with the purchase of Mutare Voice Traffic Filter and the upgrade to Mutare Voice.
