In the face of mounting voice-based cybersecurity incidents and a changing workforce landscape, Mutare keeps the voice channel protected for Webex Contact Center customers.

CHICAGO, Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Mutare Inc., a voice threat defense solution, today furthered their partnership with Webex by Cisco, a leading provider of collaboration technologies powering hybrid work, by bringing their award-winning Voice Traffic Filter solution into the Webex App Hub. This integration gives Webex Contact Center customers a way to strengthen their voice security protections by removing voice-based threats and unwanted inbound traffic at the inception of their call flow.

"As an avid Cisco partner for many years, we are thrilled to bring voice threat protection and defense to the Webex platform via the Webex App Hub," said Chuck French, Mutare's Chief Growth Officer. "Given the heightened awareness around vishing, social engineering, and voice-based attacks due to the surge in high-profile voice-centric cyber incidents, the timing for this partnership couldn't be better."

The Mutare Voice Traffic Filter (VTF) acts as a firewall for the voice channel, eliminating nuisance and nefarious calls at the beginning of the contact center's call flow. Utilizing proprietary voice data analysis capabilities built into five distinct layers of filtering technologies, VTF detects and removes all forms of spam, scam, spoofed, and otherwise unwanted calls before they enter the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system.

In the United States alone, the integrity and trust of the voice channel is under attack. Over 5.4 billion robocalls are made each month, and the number of vishing attacks has increased by 550%. Contact centers, because of their dependence on the voice channel, are feeling tremendous pressure to protect their agents and their organization, while delivering consistent and exceptional customer experiences.

In recent years, the voice channel has experienced significant transformation with the shift in working environments. The Webex App Hub brings vetted solutions together to help Webex customers quickly transform the way they work in a collaborative environment.
