Bouygues Telecom and Aduna team up for safer digital journeys
4 min
In response to the growing number of cyber risks, Bouygues Telecom is strengthening its commitment to businesses through a strategic partnership with Aduna, a global initiative backed by Ericsson and major international operators. The primary objective: to simplify and scale the use of network APIs to secure digital journeys, in France and worldwide.
What changes for businesses ?
A single integration puts an end to complex multi-operator projects. By leveraging the GSMA’s CAMARA standard, businesses can access network capabilities through standardized, interoperable, and easy-to-deploy APIs. The reach is international: Aduna brings together more than a dozen leading operators, enabling large-scale deployments that are consistent from one country to another. Data is more reliable and protection is strengthened: checks rely on information derived from the SIM, network identity, and the device, processed within Bouygues Telecom’s secure infrastructure, with binary yes/no responses to limit the exposure of personal data.
Priority use cases
The initial targeted APIs address the needs of the sectors most exposed to fraud and journey drop-offs, notably finance and insurance, e-commerce and digital platforms, as well as social networks. In France, Bouygues Telecom is already supporting several dozen players in these sectors, with a rapid ramp-up and millions of API calls in 2025.
Three solutions available now
Know Your Customer Match
Strengthens identity verification during account creation while preserving a smooth user journey.
SIM Swap Check
Detects recent SIM card changes to secure transfers, online credit applications, and merchant transactions.
Number Verification
Authenticates the user’s mobile number in the background to reduce friction during sign-in or payment.
Next steps
A major evolution of Number Verification is expected by the end of the year, with the prospect of gradually replacing one-time passcode SMS. The result: even smoother journeys and a high level of security for digital identity.
