Mutare Voice Traffic Filter Now Available in Genesys AppFoundry

Voice communications and security software developer, Mutare, announced its Voice Traffic Filter is now a premium application on the Genesys AppFoundry. Voice Traffic Filter blocks spammers, scammers, robocallers and cybercriminals at the network edge before they reach the agent call flow.

According to Chuck French, Mutare’s Chief Growth Officer, billions of spoof, dead air, robocalls or fraud calls are made each month, and “we’re finding that a large percentage of those callers have criminal intent as they see the customer support agent as a convenient gateway to valuable organizational and customer data. Contact centers are looking for their CCaaS provider to help them solve this problem.”
