Hayo enhances National Mobile Registry platform to tackle surging SIM swap fraud and mobile theft
SIM swap scams are a major global concern, affecting up to 25 % of mobile subscribers in some markets and increasing by 1,055 % in the UK last year, according to Cifas. Hayo’ s enhanced NMR platform addresses these challenges by providing a unified, real-time system to monitor, validate and control SIM and device activity.
The updated platform includes advanced SIM swap detection that identifies abnormal SIM or port-out behaviour within milliseconds, allowing authorities to stop account takeovers before users are impacted. ayo, a global innovator in digital solutions, has enhanced its National Mobile Registry( NMR) platform to help
H governments and mobile operators combat the growing threat of SIM swap fraud and mobile device theft.
The expanded platform gives authorities greater control over mobile identities and device activity, enabling real-time detection and prevention of attacks that undermine citizen trust, national revenues and digital security.
It also strengthens stolen device management through improved device pairing, expanded reporting and integration with GSMA data and national blacklists. Fully automated and configurable, the platform supports compliance with country-specific regulatory requirements.
“ Governments need intelligence-led tools that can reveal blind spots, enforce compliance and provide a full, real-time picture of what is happening across their mobile ecosystem,” said Sergio Rodrigues, Director of Strategic Partnerships and Product at Hayo.“ Our expanded NMR platform delivers that visibility, making national networks safer, protecting citizens and shielding governments from the risks posed by counterfeit or non-compliant devices.”
