Working Together to Combat Robocalls

May 15, 2024

Clayton, MO. – May 14, 2024 – NUSO, a leading provider of SaaS communication services, and TransNexus, a leader in innovative software designed to manage and protect telecommunications networks, today announced their latest strategic initiative to combat unwanted robocalls and robotexts. The two companies are working together to leverage and implement Somos’ RealNumber DNO (Do Not Originate) dataset to protect consumers from unwanted fraudulent calls and texts.

“This initiative with TransNexus, leveraging an industry best-in-class DNO list, furthers NUSO’s commitment to providing secure and reliable cloud communications to our customers, and builds upon our existing anti-fraud and anti-spam infrastructure already in place,” said Paul Matte, COO of NUSO. “This addition further strengthens our solution to protect customers from unwanted calls and texts.”

NUSO’s solution advances consumer protection by combining RealNumber DNO with additional industry and proprietary DNO lists, automated fraudulent traffic detection and mitigation processes, a complete implementation of STIR/SHAKEN, strict adherence to robocall mitigation practices such as the robocall mitigation database (RMD), and many other due diligence and Know Your Customer (KYC) policies.

“Combining Somos’ RealNumber DNO data with TransNexus call analytics is a powerful tool to protect subscribers from unwanted and malicious calls,” said Jim Dalton, Chief Executive Officer of TransNexus. “Social engineering combined with vishing is a significant threat vector for enterprises. Blocking calls from telephone numbers that should never originate calls is a fundamental security feature and major benefit for enterprise customers.”

“RealNumber DNO, a cornerstone of Somos' Fraud Mitigation and Data Integrity solutions, serves as an essential asset in supporting service providers in combating telecom fraud,” said Bill LaRuffa, Senior Director of Business Development at Somos. “We are excited to see its growing adoption across the telecom industry and are thrilled to continue our partnership with both TransNexus and NUSO.”

The companies and their people are proud to be working together to achieve the mutual goal of reducing, and one day eliminating, fraudulent calls and text messages.
