Voice Biometrics Blocklists

Introduction

OCP® customers have the ability to manage and maintain lists of voices associated with Bad Actors. These voices can be categorized into blocklists based on varying levels of risk.

When a bio-enabled call is received, the system checks the call against all active blocklists within the respective OCP group. If a match is found, the system updates a specific field in the Flow Application for handling on the IVR side, or it sends a notification to the Agent for manual intervention on the Agent side.

OCP Voice Biometrics allow you to create blocklists based on voice inputs that are considered a fraud. This enables an additional layer in security.

To manage blocklists go to Voice BiometricsBlocklists menu.
