NORFOLK, United Kingdom, Oct. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sekura.id is thrilled to announce that we have been awarded SIM Swap Certification from the GSMA Open Gateway, demonstrating our commitment to upholding the highest standards of security and compliance in mobile identity services, as one of the GSMA’s first Open Gateway Channel Partners.
The certification confirms that Sekura.id has met all necessary technical specifications for the SIM Swap API (version v0.4.0). This includes the successful implementation of key functions such as retrieving SIM swap dates etc. The certification process involved rigorous testing of scenarios, including checks on invalid and missing phone numbers, and access token validation – all of which Sekura.id passed with zero issues.
SIM swap fraud is a highly destructive crime, impacting both consumers and companies. For customers, it can allow fraudsters to access banking and personal accounts, often draining funds within minutes. Companies, on the other hand, face significant reputational damage when their security measures are breached, leading to distrust from clients and costly obligations such as refunding losses. Moreover, reputational harm can take years to repair, impacting customer retention and future business.
Sekura.id’s SIM Swap prevention solution is streets ahead of its competitors by offering real-time protection, surpassing traditional approaches that may only alert after the damage has begun. This immediate action helps to prevent fraud before it escalates, offering superior security to both businesses and consumers.
This achievement is another step forward for Sekura.id in their ongoing efforts to ensure robust fraud protection through secure mobile identity services. It reflects their focus on delivering Open Gateway solutions that not only meet but exceed the expectations of both operators and enterprises with their full, supported, go-to-market packages.
“We are proud to achieve the certification for our CAMARA SIM Swap API from the GSMA Open Gateway certification team, which marks a significant milestone for Sekura and underscores our commitment as an established Open Gateway Channel Partner and a leader in the Identity and anti-fraud APIs globally,” said Gautam Hazari, Chief Technology Officer.
“We are passionately pushing the boundaries of standards-based, secure API exposure, through our SAFr platform, making the digital world a safer place, leaving no one behind.”
