"Controlled Network Solutions has been delivering top-tier telecommunications and technology solutions for more than 20 years and we are delighted they have entrusted Ribbon to provide them with the latest in standards-based robocall mitigation and caller identification technology," said Patrick Joggerst, EVP and Chief Marketing Officer for Ribbon.

"Ribbon's Call Trust addresses service providers' requirements to provide identity assurance as well as robocall detection and mitigation, which in turn help customers avoid nuisance calls and decide which ones they want to answer," said Andy Hicks, Principal Analyst at GlobalData. "Ribbon's session border controller, analytics, and related fraud and security elements are solid foundations for an end-to-end call identity and security solution."
Ribbon Call Trust integrates both the company's and third-party data to determine caller identity, intent, and reputation for every call in a service provider's network. The solution is comprised of several industry-leading Ribbon solutions. Ribbon Secure Telephony Identity (STI) is a STIR/SHAKEN-compliant call authentication, signing and verification solution.

Ribbon PSX manages interworking between session border controllers and/or media gateways and an STI solution in support of STIR/SHAKEN standards, while delivering advanced call routing capabilities.
