XConnect, a Somos company and a leader in numbering intelligence solutions, has launched AITCheck™, a cutting-edge solution designed to protect businesses from artificially inflated traffic (AIT) fraud in the A2P messaging ecosystem.
Leveraging licensed GSMA data, AITCheck empowers enterprises, mobile operators, and CPaaS providers with real-time intelligence to detect and prevent revenue-draining bot attacks.
AIT fraud is a growing problem in telecoms, where malicious actors inflate message volumes to exploit billing models, leading to financial losses and a decline in trust in traditional communication channels.
AITCheck, part of XConnect’s RiskALERT™ product suite, provides deep insights into phone number validity, porting status, and allocation—key indicators of potential fraud.
By combining XConnect’s award-winning Number Information solutions with the GSMA’s IRSF Prevention database, it helps businesses reduce fraudulent OTP requests, optimize messaging routes, and proactively flag high-risk destinations.
“AIT fraud is eating into the revenues of A2P messaging providers and eroding trust in telecom services,” said Fenton Bard, VP of Global Sales at XConnect. “With AITCheck, we’re giving operators and enterprises the tools they need to secure their messaging traffic and restore confidence in telecoms.”
With 24/7 monitoring and real-time access to the GSMA IRSF Prevention database—updated every 20 seconds—AITCheck ensures businesses can identify and block fraudulent activity before it impacts their bottom line. This launch follows the release of XConnect’s IRSFCheck™, another GSMA-backed solution that detects and prevents International Revenue Share Fraud (IRSF) with over 90% accuracy.
