451 Research highlights Infobip’s focus on trusted communications

Over the past few years, more and more people have been using mobile communications and digital engagement. Unfortunately, this has also led to an increase in abusive and fraudulent practices like robocalls, SMS spam, and fake traffic. These practices can harm a brand’s reputation and cause financial losses for everyone involved – consumers, businesses, mobile network operators (MNOs), and technology vendors.

The need for trusted communication services in a digital world

This is where trusted communication services come in. They are becoming increasingly important for digital engagement and are a key method for businesses to differentiate themselves in a crowded market. That’s why Infobip has developed a comprehensive product strategy for trusted communications, with solutions for both enterprises and mobile network operators.

According to the latest 451 Research report, Infobip’s offerings are designed to detect potentially fraudulent activities and provide two-factor authentication SMS to ensure a secure customer journey and protect their customers and their own reputation, while delivering a better customer experience.

Infobip – A trusted communication provider

According to 451 Research’s Voice of the Enterprise: Workforce Productivity & Collaboration, Technology Ecosystems 2022 survey, the growing adoption of digital communications over the past two years has raised awareness of the need to address problems such as robocalls and spam SMS. Survey results show that two-thirds of respondents consider the use of trusted communications (e.g., verified business caller ID, verified SMS) to protect customers from scams, unwanted calls, and account takeover attacks an “important” or “very important” strategy for improving the customer experience.

73%

digitally driven organizations rank trusted communications as very important

58%

451 Research: Trusted communications a critical requirement for CX

The growing adoption of digital customer engagement has led to an increase in fraudulent practices such as smishing and artificial inflation of traffic. Check out 451 Research’s latest market insight report to learn about the implication on MNOs and enterprises.

Mobile misuse can have serious consequences – from ruining a MNO’s and brand’s reputation to account takeover and identity theft. It’s important to understand the emerging threats posed by robocalls, spam SMS, and traffic inflation, and their potential implications.

Fraudulent activities using digital channels and mobile communications can have major ramifications for enterprises, mobile network operators, and customers alike. From the financial scare of identity theft to false messages that might be ignored, the consequences can cost organizations greatly in lost revenue and customer follow-up calls; while mobile network operators may suffer reduced completed call rates or investigating customer cases. It is clear that trust and secure communication are essential in order to create positive experiences across the ecosystem––from organizations, providers to tech vendors. Working together, we have a unique opportunity to make this happen.

Why should brands and MNO’s be concerned about A2P fraud?

451 Research’s latest Market Insight Report shows that the use of A2P communications is going to grow, especially with the rise of digital channel adoptions. With this businesses will invest in more use cases over A2P channels and MNO’s will need to diversify their channel portfolio from SMS and Voice to rich messaging apps such as RCS, WhatsApp, Messenger etc.

65%

of businesses will deploy A2P communications

What are the key issues brands need to be aware of?

Consumers are familiar with the different forms of malicious messaging that have been flooding their inboxes and phones – from bulk, unsolicited campaigns to targeted phishing attempts. While spam is broadly defined as any unsolicited message, phishing takes it further by aiming to extract sensitive personal information, incur costs and spread malicious software. It is highly important for individuals and businesses alike to stay aware of these tactics in order to protect themselves from potential danger.

Consumer trust is vital for brand and MNO reputation. To achieve that both MNOs and brands need to be aware of the:

  • Threats to the messaging ecosystem
  • Top use cases for A2P messaging
  • Solutions to secure their reputation
