Prudent Technologies has joined the GSMA Open Gateway initiative, aligning itself with a global effort to standardise telecom network APIs and strengthen fraud prevention and identity security across digital ecosystems.
The move places Prudent within a fast-growing international consortium driving the adoption of CAMARA and Open Gateway API standards — a unified framework that allows enterprises and developers to securely tap into telecom network capabilities such as number verification, SIM swap detection and network-level authentication. These capabilities are increasingly critical as telecom operators and enterprises look to counter rising levels of digital fraud while simplifying identity verification.
Launched at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the GSMA Open Gateway initiative has rapidly expanded to include 85 operator groups representing more than 300 mobile networks, covering around 81% of global mobile connections. By exposing network capabilities through standardised APIs, the framework is designed to make it easier for enterprises to integrate telecom services while improving security, trust and interoperability at scale.
Prudent Technologies will contribute its expertise in secure messaging infrastructure, authentication systems and operator-grade API integration to help accelerate the commercial deployment of CAMARA-compliant services worldwide. The company works with telecom operators and enterprises across Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America, delivering high-volume messaging platforms and secure communication infrastructure.
For enterprises, the relevance of these network-native capabilities is growing quickly. Secure number verification is becoming central to digital onboarding, SIM swap detection is emerging as a key defence against account takeovers, and network-level authentication is increasingly seen as a more robust alternative to application-based or OTP-only security models. Together, these services are forming the backbone of fraud prevention strategies across sectors such as banking, fintech, e-commerce and large digital platforms.
As part of the Open Gateway ecosystem, Prudent will focus on accelerating the commercial adoption of standardised network APIs, supporting operators in deploying interoperable services, and helping enterprises integrate secure authentication and verification into their workflows. The broader objective is to enable telecom networks to evolve into programmable platforms that can deliver secure digital services at global scale.
“Prudent Technologies has always driven innovation at the intersection of secure communication, operator ecosystems and developer-centric APIs,” said BJAS Murthy, Director and CEO at Prudent Technologies. “Our involvement with the GSMA Open Gateway initiative reflects our mission to bridge network capability with real business value — accelerating global adoption of CAMARA and Open API standards while elevating industry-wide trust, interoperability and security.”
Welcoming the company to the initiative, Henry Calvert, Head of Networks at the GSMA, said Prudent brings “proven experience of supporting financial services, e-commerce, government and entertainment firms around the world”.
As digital transactions continue to scale across borders, telecom networks are taking on a more strategic role in identity and fraud protection. By joining the Open Gateway initiative, Prudent positions itself among a growing group of technology providers enabling operators to move towards API-driven, network-native security models — an approach increasingly seen as essential to strengthening trust in the global digital economy.
