October 27, 2021
On Wednesday, October 27th, 2021, we will release Talkdesk Guardian Identity™.
Talkdesk Guardian Identity™ is a seamless authentication and fraud detection solution that enables your contact center’s callers to securely authenticate using their voice.
Guardian Identity aims to address phone fraud detection and provide a more secure authentication solution.
Through a General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliant sign-up process, a speech voiceprint is created, encrypted, and stored for future voice verification when the user opts in.
What’s included
The release includes the following main capabilities:
- Voice Biometrics: Uses active voice biometrics as a unique biological characteristic to verify a caller's identity early in the flow. Unlike passwords or pin codes, the voice cannot be stolen or lost, and AI algorithms are trained to detect spoofing or synthetic voices.
- Phone Validation: Quickly extracts value with near real-time visibility into fraud scores and detailed phone number details. Provides visual information, so you can quickly access inbound call insights, such as potential risk, phone details, and history.
For more information, please check our Talkdesk Guardian Identity documentation.
June 28, 2021
On Monday, June 28th, 2021, we will release Talkdesk Guardian Guardrails™.
Guardian Guardrails is a new product from the Guardian product family. In this release, Guardrails includes the "Reporting" feature and an externally faced API to connect to the Logs > Session endpoint of Guardian.
What’s included
Reporting allows users to investigate a specific Case, Log, or agent behavior without having to log in to Guardian each time to adjust the filters and zoom into the Cases and Logs listings. Reporting includes the ability to get notified if and when the specified condition (also known as “threshold”) is met in a given Guardian report.
The Logs > Sessions API enables customers to connect current systems to Guardian (e.g., Security Incident, Event Management, or User Behavioral Analytics tools) and have data being fetched into those systems, so that logic (notification, reporting, alarm, among others) can be triggered.
How to Install
Guardian Guardrails will be available within the Guardian App in Workspace, as part of your Talkdesk account. By default, Administrators have access to Guardian and can provide access to other roles.
