Inland Cellular Deploys ClearSky's SNAP Technology to Combat SIM Swap Fraud and Secure SMS Authentication
ORLANDO, Fla., June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ClearSky Technologies today announced a strategic partnership with Inland Cellular to deploy SNAP (Silent Network Authentication Platform), an advanced anti-fraud solution designed to prevent SIM swap attacks and strengthen SMS as a trusted communication channel. The implementation provides real-time fraud protection for Inland Cellular subscribers while creating new revenue opportunities through enhanced A2P messaging security. SIM swap fraud has emerged as a critical security threat for wireless carriers and their subscribers. Traditional SMS authentication systems only verify message delivery without confirming recipient identity, creating a significant vulnerability that fraudsters exploit to intercept one-time passwords and gain unauthorized access to sensitive accounts. SNAP addresses this vulnerability by validating device and SIM activity in real-time before one-time passcodes are released. The system silently checks critical network data points including SIM age, device status, and high-risk indicators without adding complexity for end users. "At Inland Cellular, digital security is a top priority. We've been actively searching for a solution that not only safeguards our customers and shields our network but also creates potential revenue opportunities. SNAP provides a comprehensive solution we've been looking for," said Eric Law, Chief Technology Officer at Inland Cellular. The integration with Inland Cellular's existing infrastructure will be completed with minimal disruption, requiring no new hardware or network re-architecture. SNAP establishes secure connections with the carrier's core network elements to monitor authentication queries from enterprise applications in real-time. "ClearSky has been at the forefront of delivering next-generation messaging and security solutions to regional carriers. Their commitment to innovation and consistent track record of success make them an ideal partner," said Josh Eckert, Business Development Director at Inland Cellular. "With SNAP, we're enhancing network security, protecting our customers, and helping restore confidence in SMS as a trusted communication channel, increasing our opportunities for A2P revenue." The partnership comes at a critical time as SMS-based fraud continues to rise across the telecommunications industry, leading to increased customer support tickets, account recovery requests, and diminishing trust in SMS security. For regional carriers like Inland Cellular, implementing advanced security measures is essential to maintain SMS as a viable authentication channel. "We're proud to partner with Inland Cellular to bring real-time fraud protection to their subscribers through SNAP," said Ron Willett, VP & GM of ClearSky Technologies. "SIM swap attacks continue to threaten both customers and messaging revenue, and carriers need tools that work at the network level without adding complexity. Inland's proactive approach to security makes them a strong partner, and we're excited to support their efforts to keep SMS both trusted and profitable."
