Webinar : The smile that stops fraud and the carrier that seals trust

Orange and ShareID hosted an insightful webinar titled “The Smile that Stops Frauds, the Mobile that Seals Trust” on January 20, 2026, highlighting the increasing complexity of online security in today’s digital landscape.

ShareID is an identity verification and authentication modular platform specialized in fraud prevention, enabling strong user verification without storing personal or biometric data.

As fraud tactics evolve, especially with the rise of generative AI-based fraud, traditional defense mechanisms are no longer sufficient. This session explored innovative solutions to combat mobile fraud and account takeover attacks, emphasizing the importance of balancing strong security with a seamless user experience.

Key highlights

The growing challenge of online security

• The complexity of fraud is escalating, driven by increasingly sophisticated AI tactics.
• Identity verification is becoming more challenging, requiring advanced solutions.
• Users demand instant access, making frictionless yet secure authentication essential.
• ShareID adds a biometric authentication layer (MFA 3.0) designed to stop account takeover while keeping the user journey fast and simple.

Orange’s approach: enhancing security with interoperable APIs

Orange is developing cross-operator Network APIs to improve security without compromising user experience. These APIs align with the GSMA Open Gateway initiative and the Camara open-source project, fostering interoperability across operators and creating a unified security ecosystem.

In this ecosystem, ShareID complements telecom network signals with a strong identity layer, helping businesses increase confidence in user authentication decisions.

Featured use case: adaptive transaction verification

One of the key solutions presented was Risk-based Transaction Approval, an adaptive verification process that dynamically assesses transaction risk:

• Triggering conditions: Suspicious signs such as a new device, unusual location, or abnormal behavior.
• Risk assessment: Utilizes device, location, and network signals.
• Enhanced verification: Combines Orange’s device, SIM, and network signals with ShareID’s biometric authentication layer to confirm the legitimate user in real time.
• Outcome: Minimizes false positives, ensures a smooth user journey, and effectively reduces fraud.
• ShareID’s biometric step is triggered only when the risk score requires it, keeping verification silent for low-risk actions while adding strong proof for high-risk transactions.

This approach exemplifies how combining multiple signals and biometric verification can foster trust while maintaining transaction reliability.

Available APIs for enhanced security

Orange offers several APIs to support secure and seamless user experiences. These signals become even more powerful when orchestrated with ShareID’s identity verification and step-up authentication, especially for account takeover prevention.

• Number Verification API: Confirms the mobile number used in applications, reducing social engineering risks by eliminating the need for codes.
• SIM Swap API: Detects recent SIM swaps (physical or eSIM) within a specified period, serving as a red flag for potential fraud. Currently available in France and Spain.

By integrating these APIs, businesses can verify if a mobile line matches the one on file or detect recent SIM swaps, preventing unauthorized access.

Getting started and future outlook

• Orange APIs are available via the Orange Developer
• These APIs are designed to respect GDPR, are billed per API call (costs are minimal), and can be integrated into multifactor authentication strategies.
• ShareID can be integrated alongside these APIs as part of a layered authentication strategy, combining telecom trust signals with strong user validation when needed.
• Orange plans to evolve these APIs to address emerging threats, including those driven by AI, ensuring ongoing protection against sophisticated fraud tactics.

To conclude, the webinar demonstrated how Orange’s telco APIs can significantly enhance fraud detection while preserving a fluid user experience. When combined with ShareID’s identity and biometric authentication layer, organizations can reduce account takeover, limit false positives, and apply the right level of verification at the right moment.
