Vi Protect: AI-Powered Solution to Safeguard Against Spam, Fraud, and Cyber Attacks

If you are tired of spam calls, fraud messages, and cyber threats, Vodafone Idea (Vi) has launched a solution that could put an end to your worries. During the India Mobile Congress 2025 (IMC 2025), Vi unveiled Vi Protect, an AI-powered initiative designed to enhance real-time protection against spam, scams, and cyber attacks. This initiative aims to secure consumers, enterprises, and network operations under a single platform.

What is Vi Protect?

Vi Protect is developed for consumer, network, and enterprise users. It combines two major AI systems:

1. AI-Based Voice Spam Detection System

2. AI-Driven Cyber Defense and Incident Response System

The voice spam detection system identifies fraudulent calls in real-time and flags them, while the network defense system safeguards Vi’s network and enterprise operations from cyber threats.

How Vi’s Voice Spam Detection System Works

Vi’s Voice Spam Detection System leverages AI models, web crawlers, and customer feedback to detect spam and fraudulent calls instantly. When an unknown number calls a Vi user, a “Suspected Spam” alert appears on the screen, allowing the user to decide whether to answer.

Unlike third-party caller ID apps, this feature is directly integrated into Vi’s network. The system also flags fraudulent text messages and includes an international calling display feature to differentiate genuine international calls from fake ones.

Additionally, Vi’s AI-powered Threat Analysis System connects with DNS, SMS, and Voice Gateways to continuously analyze threat patterns and identify potential risks.

Vi Cyber Defense and Incident Response System

Under the Vi Protect initiative, Vi introduced an advanced AI-powered Cyber Defense and Incident Response System to protect core network and enterprise operations from cyber threats.

This system utilizes Agentic and Generative AI models, capable of detecting, analyzing, and neutralizing cyber threats within one hour. It is specifically designed to minimize false positives, making the protection process more accurate and effective.

The system follows a multi-layered defense mechanism, which includes:

• Anomaly detection

• Contextualization

• Categorization

• Interface engine agent

• Suggestive intelligence

• Human validation

Vi confirmed that this advanced protection system will soon be available to enterprise clients, allowing them to benefit from this cutting-edge security infrastructure.

Achievements and Future Features

Vi’s security systems have already flagged over 600 million spam and scam calls and messages. The company is also planning to introduce a real-time URL protection feature to scan and block suspicious links, preventing phishing attacks and malware infections.

Conclusion

With Vi Protect, Vodafone Idea is setting a new standard for AI-driven security in telecom. From real-time spam detection to enterprise-grade cyber defense, Vi Protect ensures users and organizations stay protected against evolving threats in an increasingly digital world.
