Platform Development Engineer

Mavenir has launched NetAIShield, an AI-native fraud protection platform designed to secure telecom networks against sophisticated cyber threats. The system correlates data across voice, messaging, and data services to provide real-time subscriber protection. NetAIShield addresses modern telecom fraud that spans multiple channels, including deepfake audio, synthetic identities, and SIM swap attacks. Traditional fraud solutions detect threats within individual domains, but NetAIShield offers a unified view by analysing network telemetry, subscriber behaviour, and threat indicators simultaneously. A key feature is AI-Protected Communications, which functions as a personal AI assistant for subscribers. It screens unknown callers, monitors conversations for social engineering and voice impersonation, and intervenes when risks are detected. The system operates on existing devices without new hardware and works on a consent basis whilst maintaining regulatory compliance. The platform continuously adapts to emerging attack patterns.

Mavenir launches NetAIShield: ai-native fraud protection for voice, messaging and data operator services. A multi-layered AI defense platform that correlates threats across every network domain while protecting subscribers in real time. RICHARDSON, Texas, Sept. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Mavenir, the software company building cloud-native, AI-by-design mobile networks, today announced NetAIShield, its next-generation AI-native fraud protection framework designed to secure telecom networks and subscribers against an increasingly sophisticated fraud landscape. Modern telecom fraud has evolved beyond isolated attacks. Cybercriminals now orchestrate coordinated campaigns across voice, messaging, data, and OTT channels, impersonating telecom operators, government agencies, and financial institutions while leveraging deepfake audio, synthetic identities, SIM swap, SIM box, and AI-powered social engineering techniques. Traditional fraud solutions, built to detect threats within individual network domains, provide only a fragmented view, allowing increasingly complex attacks to evade detection. NetAIShield responds to this challenge with a multi-layered AI defense architecture built to correlate network telemetry, subscriber behavior, signaling events, messaging intelligence, and threat indicators into a unified, real-time view of fraud. Designed to work alongside Mavenir's existing security portfolio or as an overlay for third-party fraud detection solutions, NetAIShield helps enable operators to detect, prioritize, and neutralize sophisticated attacks including the ones utilizing SIM farms and Application Farms with minimal disruption to existing infrastructure. A key innovation of NetAIShield is AI-Protected Communications, which extends fraud protection beyond the network to individual subscribers. While network-layer security protects the population by identifying and blocking fraudulent traffic before calls are connected, the most damaging scams increasingly occur during live conversations. AI-Protected Communications helps fill this gap with a personal AI assistant that can intelligently screen unknown callers, monitor conversations for indicators of social engineering, deepfake voice impersonation, financial fraud, and other suspicious behavior, and intervene in real time when risks are detected. Operating transparently on existing devices without requiring new hardware, the capability works on a consent basis and supports regulatory compliance by informing callers that they are interacting with an AI screening assistant. Trusted contacts can bypass screening, while unknown callers are authenticated before reaching the subscriber. For ongoing protection, the AI assistant can remain on the call, providing real-time risk assessment, warning subscribers through whisper warnings, or helping terminate or redirect fraudulent conversations when necessary. The platform continuously learns from emerging attack patterns, enabling protection that evolves as fraud tactics change. Built on Mavenir's proven security portfolio, which is already deployed across more than 70 Tier-1 operator networks protecting over one billion subscribers worldwide, NetAIShield represents the next evolution of AI-native telecom security, combining network-wide intelligence with personalized, real-time subscriber protection to defend against the rapidly growing threat of AI-powered fraud. NetAIShield in combination with SpamShield, CallShield, and LinkShield enables mobile operators to create safe mobile experience for safe messaging, safe calling and safe browsing. Ilia Abramov, VP & General Manager, Security Business Unit, Mavenir: "Fraud has become agentic, multi-modal, and deeply personal. With NetAIShield and its AI Call Screening agent, Mavenir delivers an intelligence layer that sees threat signals and protects subscribers in real time." Join Mavenir at FutureNet Asia 2026, 22-23 September in Singapore to see how NetAIShield moves operators from reactive defense to AI-powered protection.

Mavenir adds Sanas real-time Speech AI to its MAVcore Voice AI portfolio for telecom operators. August 26, 2026 The strategic partnership brings real-time speech enhancement, accent transformation, and language understanding into operator networks, opening a new frontier for secure carrier-grade Voice AI RICHARDSON, Texas, and PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Mavenir, the software company building Cloud-Native, AI-by-design mobile networks, and Sanas, a real-time Speech AI platform for enterprise and global communications, today announced a strategic partnership that brings Sanas real-time Speech AI to Mavenir's MAVcore Voice AI portfolio. The integration enables communication service providers to deliver voice AI enhancements natively from the operator's mobile core network directly to end-users. Telecom networks were built to connect calls. Mavenir and Sanas are transforming that connection into secure, human-to-human communication, carried in a caller's preferred language, delivered with HD Voice clarity, deployed as sovereign AI within the operator's own network, and built to meet regulatory and data-residency requirements. This shifts voice from a utility operators carry to a service they can differentiate, govern, and monetize. At the core of the partnership is Sanas' Speech AI platform, which removes communication barriers in real time, enabling people to understand and be understood across languages, accents and environments. Its technology powers mission-critical communications where clarity, speed, and accuracy matter most. Through its Language Assist partnership with MicroAutomation, Sanas enables 911 dispatchers to hear callers in English as they speak, with no interpreter and no delay. By bringing these capabilities directly into carrier networks, Mavenir and Sanas are making real-time translation, speech enhancement, and AI-powered communication available at telecom scale. Secure communications are another area of focus for this partnership. Voice-cloning technology has advanced quickly, and bad actors are already exploiting it to commit fraud. Integrating Sanas Speech AI into Mavenir MAVcore portfolio of solutions enhances the voice platform to include deepfake detection and fraud-signal capabilities, giving operators a carrier-grade path to detect and defend against synthetic-voice attacks as this threat grows. The joint solution is orchestrated and customized through Mavenir's AI Agent Studio, giving operators service control, real-time performance, optimized operational costs, and the ability to rapidly create and monetize new conversational AI experiences. "Voice remains the most trusted and universal service operators provide, and the next era is about making it intelligent," said Pardeep Kohli, President and CEO of Mavenir. "Together with Sanas, Mavenir is enabling operators to transform voice from a connectivity service into a monetizable, AI-powered experience. By embedding advanced Voice AI directly within the telecom network, operators can deliver real-time translation, AI-enhanced voice quality, and next-generation security while maintaining the performance, privacy, and sovereignty that modern communications require." "Telecom operators sit at the center of some of the world's most important conversations," said Sharath Keshava Narayana, Co-Founder and CEO of Sanas. "Together with Mavenir, we're bringing a new layer of intelligence directly into carrier networks, creating new opportunities to improve communication quality, strengthen security, and deliver more value through every conversation.
