#1 Largest Opportunity

Banking & Financial Services

$850+ billion in annual voice transactions | $180+ million/year in fraud losses

The Threat: Banks are the primary target for sophisticated deepfake voice fraud. A single vishing attack can result in $22,000 to $1M+ in losses per incident. Real-world example: A US energy company's CEO impersonation attack resulted in employees wiring $22,000 in fraudulent transfers. Larger institutions have reported fraud attempts targeting $100M+ in unauthorized transactions.

#3 Scale Advantage

Telecommunications & Call Centers

$500+ billion in call center operations | $130+ million/year in fraud losses

The Threat: Call centers are the front line for fraud. Customer service representatives are manipulated daily into granting unauthorized access. Deepfake voice attacks are increasing in sophistication. SIM swap attacks, credential theft, and account takeovers cost millions annually.

Why Telecom & Call Centers Lead Adoption

Existing voice infrastructure — Already handling millions of calls daily
Volume economics — Can deploy at massive scale (millions of verifications/month)
Customer satisfaction — Voice authentication is frictionless (5-10 second verification)
Compliance pressure — FTC, CFPB regulators pushing fraud reduction

Telecom Carriers
