Hiya’s Adaptive AI was shortlisted for a Global Mobile Award
On Wednesday, February 28, winners of the Global Mobile Awards will be announced and Hiya is in the running!
Hiya is one of six companies on the shortlist in the category Best Mobile Security Solution. MWC states, “The Global Mobile (GLOMO) Awards are the connectivity industry’s most prestigious accolade, judged by the sector’s most prominent subject matter experts. To be shortlisted for a GLOMO Award means recognition as a serious player — one to be watched closely in the tech sector.”
Hiya’s Adaptive AI, used in Hiya’s call protection solution Hiya Protect, is the industry’s only self-learning spam protection system that learns from past and present call data. Not only can Hiya Protect accurately detect the methods that spammers and fraudsters use today, but it automatically evolves as they innovate new calling practices.
Adaptive AI is the first anti-spam solution to go beyond simplistic approaches to spam detection by evaluating complete and specific characteristics of calls in real-time.
