Keepnet, an Extended Human Risk Management (xHRM) platform, has launched the Keepnet SMS/Call Reporter, a free app designed to address the growing threat of mobile phishing attacks. This app empowers users to report suspicious SMS or phone calls with a single tap, ensuring that security teams can quickly respond to potential threats. The app is available on the Apple App Store, with an Android release planned for the future.
The launch is significant as mobile phishing attempts have surged, with 80% of organizations experiencing such attacks according to the Verizon MSI 2025 report. The traditional email-centric reporting methods fall short, as attackers have expanded their tactics to include SMS and voice calls, making it crucial to have a comprehensive solution for all communication channels.
Keepnet's app fills this gap by providing a user-friendly interface for reporting incidents, which then integrates seamlessly with the security team's workflow. This approach ensures that security teams can effectively manage and respond to mobile phishing attempts, something that traditional email-only reporting systems often fail to achieve.
The app's design prioritizes user privacy, collecting only the necessary information for reporting. It also leverages AI-driven analysis to quickly determine the nature of the threat, whether it's malicious, suspicious, spam, or harmless. This real-time assessment is a key feature that sets Keepnet's app apart from other mobile security solutions.
Keepnet's platform has been purpose-built to handle voice and SMS phishing simulations since 2022, with a focus on enterprise-level deployment. The company's commitment to security is evident through its ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications, as well as compliance with ISO/IEC 42001:2023 and the EU AI Act requirements.
By deploying the SMS/Call Reporter across the workforce, organizations can turn employees into active sensors, providing visibility into phishing attempts that were previously undetected. This not only enhances security but also empowers employees to take a proactive role in protecting their organization.
Keepnet's solution is designed to complement existing security awareness and human risk management programs, allowing organizations to extend their reporting capabilities to SMS and voice communications without disrupting their current systems. This comprehensive approach is essential in today's multi-channel attack landscape.
In conclusion, Keepnet's SMS/Call Reporter is a valuable tool for organizations to combat the evolving threat of mobile phishing. By empowering users and security teams with real-time visibility and response capabilities, it contributes to a more secure digital environment. As attackers continue to adapt their tactics, solutions like Keepnet's are crucial in staying ahead of the curve.
