Telesign

Telesign sits at the intersection of digital identity and CPaaS, Castanon said. Its programmable voice and messaging communications API products coupled with its digital identity technology enable organizations and developers to build secure A2P, person-to-application (P2A), and person-to-person (P2P) communications into their web and mobile applications, allowing them to provide safe and trusted customer interactions.

“Telesign has the communications platform capabilities, but they’re really leading into digital identity and kind of pushing the envelope of two-factor authentication and biometrics, and preventing SIM swapping and things like that,” Brandenburg said. “They’re getting really good at that part of the market, and growing both the digital identity and adding their core CPaaS capabilities as part of it. And I think they’re making the bigger guys respond with broader identity solutions.”
