Hayo, a global innovator in digital solutions, has enhanced its National Mobile Registry NMR platform to help governments and mobile operators combat the rise in SIM swap fraud and mobile theft. The new platform modules provide authorities with more control over mobile identities and device activity, enabling the detection and prevention of attacks that threaten citizens, national revenues and digital trust.
SIM swap scams are a major security concern worldwide, affecting an estimated 25 of mobile subscribers in some markets like Kenya, while surging by 1,055 in the UK last year according to Cifas. At the same time, illegal, stolen and counterfeit devices remain active on national networks due to limited oversight. Combined with grey-market imports and tax leakage, these issues can cost governments billions of dollars in lost revenue annually. Hayo's expanded NMR platform provides a unified, real-time system for governments and mobile operators to monitor, validate and control device and SIM activity.
"We're taking our NMR platform to the next level to enable governments to strengthen identity protection, secure mobile networks, and protect citizens from fraud techniques that are evolving at a fast pace. By analysing SIM activity in real time and strengthening device intelligence, we're providing all the tools needed to combat SIM swap attacks, remove stolen devices from networks, and reinforce trust across digital economies."
