In a significant move to combat the rising menace of call spoofing, Truecaller has unveiled its latest feature, Secure Calls, designed to enhance the security and authenticity of business communications. This innovative addition to the Truecaller for Business platform marks a pivotal step forward in the fight against fraudulent calls, ensuring that every call made by a business is verified and secure.

Secure Calls operates by performing a secure backend handshake between the business and Truecaller's system, verifying the caller's authenticity before the call reaches the recipient. This process effectively eliminates the risk of impersonation, a common tactic used by scammers to deceive individuals. Upon successful verification, the call is labeled as a 'Secure Call' within the Truecaller app, providing users with immediate visual confirmation of its legitimacy.

The introduction of Secure Calls is a testament to Truecaller's ongoing commitment to fostering trust in digital communications. Fredrik Kjell, Chief Operating Officer at Truecaller, emphasized the feature's role in protecting consumers and empowering businesses to communicate with confidence. By building on the foundation of the Verified Business platform, Secure Calls offers an additional layer of security, ensuring that every call is not just from a verified business, but also verified in real-time.

Already, leading businesses like NoBroker have adopted Secure Calls, showcasing its potential to significantly reduce call fraud. With its global rollout, Truecaller for Business subscribers worldwide can now leverage this feature to safeguard their communications, reinforcing the platform's position as a leader in identity verification and fraud prevention.

TGS, the Oslo-based energy data provider, has been awarded a significant ocean bottom node (OBN) acquisition contract in the Gulf of Mexico, marking another strategic win in one of the company's core markets. The 4D monitor survey is scheduled to commence in the fourth quarter of 2025 and will span approximately four and a half months. This contract represents continued confidence in TGS's capabilities from the international oil company client, though the specific customer identity remains undisclosed.

The contract was notably absent from TGS's booked position disclosed in the company's second quarter 2025 presentation, indicating a recent acquisition for the seismic data specialist. The Gulf of Mexico remains a critical region for offshore energy production, and 4D seismic monitoring plays an essential role in optimizing reservoir management and production efficiency for major operators in the region.

Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS, emphasized the significance of securing business from repeat customers, stating that the client values TGS's OBN technology and proven track record of project execution. "The client is confident we will deliver high-quality data and insights to optimize production from one of their highest producing facilities in the Gulf of Mexico," Johansen commented, highlighting the operational importance of the project for the customer's production optimization efforts.

TGS's expertise in OBN technology positions the company as a trusted partner for international oil companies seeking to maximize recovery from existing assets. The 4D seismic approach allows operators to monitor reservoir changes over time, providing critical data for production optimization decisions. This latest contract win reinforces TGS's strong position in the Gulf of Mexico market and demonstrates the ongoing demand for advanced seismic monitoring solutions in mature offshore basins.
