Pindrop, a global technology provider in identity, security, and trust for voice interactions, has acquired Next Caller Inc., an enterprise-grade call verification and fraud detection technology for contact centers. Next Caller will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary and will work under the umbrella of the Pindrop family.

“Next Caller is a true pioneer in the device verification space. Operating independently as close partners, we’re thrilled to be able to now work together to provide even better solutions to our respective customers and prospects while keeping a close eye on the many growth opportunities ahead of us,” said Vijay Balasubramaniyan, CEO, Pindrop.

“As we thought about the future of our industry, it has always been clear to me that Pindrop would lead the charge. Thus, when the opportunity arose to join forces with the Pindrop team, we jumped. Our two companies will now be able to service the market in its entirety with the right solution for whatever stage of voice security and authentication they are in,” added Ian Roncoroni, Next Caller co-founder and CEO.
