Verizon Mobile Security Index

The shift to remote work sees a major rise in cybercrime - Seite 3

Consumer vigilance
As with the business sector, cyber threat actors are also targeting consumers. Unwanted calls and spam text messages pose a real threat to mobile device owners, which makes being vigilant and having security measures in place that much more important.

From May to June 2022 alone, with the use of STIR/SHAKEN, Call Filter and additional tools, Verizon identified or blocked 2.5 billion unwanted calls for wireless customers - detecting more than 26.5 billion spam calls to date. On a daily basis, Verizon blocks tens of millions of spam text messages on behalf of customers and labels 1.2M calls with [V] for verified callers and 85K with [SPAM?] for robocalls for more than 3M Fios voice customers.

Verizon became the first service provider to supply scam call data to the Industry Traceback Group (ITG) and the first to automate its participation – in most cases responding to ITG in less than a minute. Most recently, Verizon was also the first service provider to submit foreign language scam examples to the ITG.

Collaboration solutions
With the increase in remote work flexibility, meeting security has become an essential business priority. Built secure by design, BlueJeans by Verizon works to protect customer and end-user security and privacy, while delivering a great video collaboration experience across devices.

By protecting the privacy of customers and implementing standards-based security protocols throughout the BlueJeans platform, including SIP, SRTP, TLS, and H. 323, Verizon is being proactive about video conferencing security and privacy. Further, the BlueJeans Trust Center highlights the company’s commitment to innovating responsibly and communicating transparently, so that organizations and end-users across industries can meet with confidence.
