How SENTRY Works
Start Protecting Your Calls with a Simple API Integration
1
Platform Sends Pre-Call API
Before calls are initiated, users will send call information to First Orion via the Pre-Call API.
2
First Orion Creates Unique Key
A unique key is made for the aNumber (calling number) and bNumber (called number) pair. The Pre-Call API also tells the broker the TTL (Time to Live), or how long this key is valid.
3
Agent Initiates Call
When an agent initiates a call, the called terminating carrier requests authentication from First Orion through an API.
4
Carrier Requests Authentication
First Orion authenticates every call. If the call is legitimate, it will be delivered accordingly. If it is spoofed, it is blocked and will not be delivered to the end user.
SENTRY PROTECTS YOUR BUSINESS FROM MAKING A BAD IMPRESSION
What’s in a name? For your business, it could be everything from your good reputation to customer retention and loyalty. While scammers target every industry, healthcare, insurance, and finance are the most lucrative to impersonate. That means scammers could be using your respected name to dupe your customers.
