Started in September 2019 and now finalized, the DETSI project (Detection of Scams by Artificial Intelligence) aimed to protect European mobile subscribers from a set of telephone frauds.
The project has demonstrated the ability to detect ping calls in real time by covering 80% of the European population, i.e. 350 million subscribers... Thanks to this, operators have a solution to protect their subscribers by blocking ping calls in real time or alerting them in case of attempted calls to a fraudulent number.
This project was supported in a joint framework between the French government under the Future Investments Program, the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region as well as the Pays de la Loire Region, but also BPI France, and three key telecom cybersecurity players: IMT Télécoms Paris (which is part of the leading French group of engineering schools), VIAVI (international leader in optical technologies and tests and measurements for telecommunications) as well as Araxxe (SME based in Lyon and a specialist in the market for billing verification and fight against interconnect fraud in international telecommunications).
