The Myths and Realities of STIR/SHAKEN for Inbound Call Centers

Recorded On: 01/21/2021

PRESENTER(S):

Lance Hood, Senior Director of Inbound Authentication, Neustar

ABOUT THE WEBINAR:

STIR/SHAKEN is a set of standards designed to reduce spoofing of phone numbers by enabling phone networks to use digital signatures to document the legitimacy of phone calls. This capability is scheduled to be in place by mid-2021.

For call centers, the question is whether STIR/SHAKEN can also help businesses reduce threats from criminal use of spoofed calls to help take over customer accounts. The answer is “yes,” but with some significant caveats and limitations.

In this webinar, you’ll learn from call center and technology experts how to use STIR/SHAKEN, and why it is not a panacea for caller authentication:

An overview of how STIR/SHAKEN works
Where it will (and will not) help call centers in combating account take-over attempts
Tips for getting access to STIR/SHAKEN data from your telephone carrier Best practices for using STIR/SHAKEN when it arrives
