Vodafone Idea Introduces AI-Driven Spam Detection and Cyber Defense Systems Under ‘Vi Protect’
IMC 2025: Vodafone Idea (Vi) has launched a new AI-based service called Vi Protect. It aims to protect customers from spam and cyberattacks. Announced at IMC 2025, the program includes voice spam detection and cyber defense systems. These systems identify fraudulent calls and messages in real time, helping users stay safe. The company claims this will reduce cyber threats.
On Wednesday, Vodafone Idea (Vi) launched an AI-powered initiative called Vi Protect, aimed at improving protection against spam and cyber threats. The announcement was made at the India Mobile Congress 2025 (IMC 2025). This initiative includes two major systems: an AI-based voice spam detection system and an AI-driven cyber defense and incident response system. While the spam detection system identifies and flags fraudulent calls in real time, the network defense system helps protect Vi's network and enterprise operations from cyber attacks.
The Vi Protect program is designed for consumer, network, and enterprise users to protect them from spam, scams, and cyber attacks under a single platform. As part of this initiative, Vi has launched two systems: the voice spam detection system and the AI-driven network defense and incident response system.
Vi's Voice Spam Detection System claims to identify spam and fraudulent calls in real time using AI models, web crawlers, and customer feedback. When a suspicious number calls a Vi user, a 'Suspected Spam' alert appears on the call screen, allowing users to decide whether to answer the call. Unlike third-party caller ID apps, this feature is integrated directly into Vi's network.
