YouMail, Inc. and WMC Global Partner to Deliver Voice and SMS Phishing Disruption Services

30 Sep, 2022

Industry-first joint phishing intelligence solution provides 360-degree mobile communication defense

LAS VEGAS, NV - September 27, 2022 - YouMail, the leading provider of call protection services for consumers, enterprises, and service providers, and WMC Global, a 16-year leader in mobile threat intelligence, today announced their joint cybersecurity intelligence solution that safeguards against voice and SMS phishing scams. The partnership between YouMail and WMC Global is a first-of-its-kind offering that protects brands and their customers simultaneously from vishing and smishing attacks. Mobile phones are the center of consumers' digital lives with 97% of Americans owning smart phones and threat actors knowingly targeting them with spam and scam SMS and voice calls. The combination of YouMail voice & vishing protection and WMC Global SMS & smishing protection services act as two sides of the mobile fraud disruption coin, enabling enterprises plagued by threat actors impersonating them and phishing consumers to mitigate these risks and improve their effectiveness at preventing fraud and serving their customers. YouMail Protective Services, the enterprise services division of YouMail, classifies, monitors and disrupts threat actors using voice to target consumers for both impersonated brands and voice service providers that are unwillingly serving as the conduits for these phone-based attacks. "With this marriage of voice and SMS protection, enterprises like banks now have a powerful weapon against threat actors using mobile phishing attacks against their customers," said  Alex Quilici, CEO of YouMail. "Our specialized voice protection, coupled with WMC Global's suite of anti-phishing SMS safeguards, solves a complicated industry issue that affects brand reputation and millions of mobile users." Focusing on threat actor phishing kits, compromised credential recovery, mobile number investigations and takedowns, and consumer text message analysis, WMC Global's Anti-Phishing Suite analyzes, classifies, and disarms mobile threats before a victim's personal data is exploited. "Partnering with YouMail to develop this joint offering was the next logical step in our fight against unwanted messaging and malicious phishing attacks on consumers' mobile devices," said  Ian Matthews, CEO of WMC Global. "Our specific combination of services effectively helps telecoms uncover unlawful calls and texts made on their networks, prevents brand impersonation, and protects their customers from potential identity theft."
