Blocking low-effort replies to deter spam and encourage valuable comments.
Hyderabad-based Tanla Platforms has secured a multi-year deal with Indonesia's Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison to implement its AI-powered anti-spam platform. This marks Tanla's first major international expansion of its security technology. The platform, utilizing machine learning and generative AI, aims to combat fraudulent activities across SMS, voice, and VoIP channels, protecting millions of Indonesian telecom users from cyberattacks.
The agreement, announced on Thursday, is a significant milestone for Tanla, which has previously provided blockchain-based anti-spam solutions to Vodafone Idea and state-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (BSNL) in India. The anti-spam and anti-scam system being adopted by Indosat uses both traditional machine learning and generative AI models (trained on Meta’s LLaMa), and is hosted on NVIDIA GPU infrastructure.
Indonesia is the world's second largest spammed market after India, with approximately 400-450 million cyberattacks annually, according to Uday Reddy, founder chairman of Tanla. The deployment will help detect and mitigate fraudulent activity in real time across SMS, voice, and VoIP channels, covering both application-to-person (A2P) and person-to-person (P2P) communication.
The partnership is part of Indosat's broader effort to safeguard digital lives. Vikram Sinha, president director of Indosat Ooredoo, stated, "Our partnership with Tanla to deploy the AI-powered anti-spam and anti-scam solution shows how technology can safeguard daily digital lives."
Tanla's solution integrates with SIM cards and mobile handsets, both Android and iOS, for real-time threat detection at the device and network levels. It will be delivered under a subscription-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) model.
