Jerusalem, Israel, April 30th, 2025, FinanceWire
In a week where Iran confirmed repelling a large-scale cyberattack on government and Telecom infrastructure, Squaretalk, a global CPaaS and unified communications provider, has announced the results from a significant upgrade to its security platform, designed to meet the urgent cybersecurity needs of modern enterprises. This year alone, the platform intercepted over 3,000 automated signup attacks and unauthorized access attempts, which illustrates the escalating threat fintech and digital service providers face in managing sensitive customer data and regulated transactions.
According to Reuters, the Iranian government’s digital systems came under nationwide cyber assault on April 28, forcing authorities to isolate network segments to prevent damage. The scale and intent of the attack made headlines not just because of its geopolitical weight, but because of what it signals: a dramatic rise in the frequency, sophistication, and scale of cyber threats — spanning industries, borders, and sectors.
It’s against this backdrop that Squaretalk now reveals the results of its Q1 2025 platform update, featuring advanced protections at both the infrastructure and application levels, together with upcoming capabilities focused on fraud prevention and scam detection — a move aimed not at reaction, but at anticipation, empowering businesses to stay ahead of evolving threats.
What happened in Iran this week is a powerful reminder: even nations can be digitally shaken,” said Elie Rubin, CEO of Squaretalk. “Security isn’t just a policy. It’s a principle that must be built into every process — from login protocols to voice call analytics. Our job at Squaretalk is to make that security accessible, scalable, and proactive for the companies who need it most. That’s why we’ve worked closely with clients across the fintech sector — where safeguarding sensitive financial and customer data is non-negotiable — to shape platform features that prioritize security, anticipate threats, and embed fraud prevention into every layer of the system.
A Platform Hardened by Active Defense
During Q1 2025, Squaretalk’s newly deployed AI Voice Analytics and Access Protection Engine detected and blocked over 3,000 fraudulent signup and bot-driven access attempts. These targeted user onboarding forms, login endpoints, and API surfaces — the same vulnerabilities exploited in recent global attacks,
“These aren’t attacks specifically on your organization,” added Elie Rubin, CEO of Squaretalk. “They’re automated, opportunistic, and designed to find the weakest links — in any system, any company, any country. The question isn’t if you’re targeted. The question is whether you’re prepared.”
Enterprise-Level Security, Built-In — Not Bolted On
Squaretalk’s security architecture was developed in close partnership with enterprise customers from highly regulated fintech companies that handle extremely sensitive customer data, ensuring rapid deployment in under 60 days and alignment with rigorous standards such as ISO 27001. The result is a fortified environment where risk is managed by design, delivering features like:
- Login & Access Protection, with brute-force detection, blocking repeated failed login attempts, Geo/IP controls for access limitations, and session auto-logout.
- Password & Session Management, enforced by complexity rules, auto-expiry every 90 days, and secure policy governance.
- Full-Stack Access Logging and Compliance, including an export-ready audit trail for every login attempt and session, logging user identity, geolocation, or IP source.
These features help customers satisfy internal security team requirements and external frameworks including GDPR, SOC2, AML, and HIPAA.
