Mutare Named Preferred Cybersecurity & Risk Provider for Voice Security

Mutare, a voice security solutions provider, has been selected by the American Hospital Association (AHA) as a preferred cybersecurity and risk provider for voice security, recognizing Mutare's flagship Voice Traffic Filter as a trusted, enterprise-class voice firewall for healthcare organizations.

As an AHA Preferred Cybersecurity & Risk Provider, Mutare supports the association's mission to help healthcare organizations strengthen resilience, reduce exposure, and protect the communities they serve. The designation provides AHA members with access to a vetted voice security solution purpose-built for voice, one of healthcare's fastest-growing and least-protected attack surfaces.

"Healthcare organizations are facing unprecedented pressure to defend patients, staff, and clinical operations from increasingly sophisticated voice-based threats," said Chuck French, chief growth officer of Mutare, in a statement. "Being named an AHA Preferred Cybersecurity & Risk Provider affirms that protecting the voice channel is now a necessary component of enterprise cybersecurity, not an optional enhancement."

"Voice-based threats are escalating rapidly, disrupting hospital communications, and are increasingly being used as an initial access point by criminals for cyberattacks and fraud against healthcare organizations and patients," said John Riggi, national advisor for cybersecurity and risk at the American Hospital Association, in a statement. "Mutare's selection as an AHA Preferred Cybersecurity & Risk Provider gives our members a critical edge by offering a purpose-built solution to help reduce risk, protect patients and staff, and strengthen voice as part of a comprehensive cybersecurity and crime prevention strategy."

Mutare's Voice Traffic Filter is a multi-layered Voice Firewall that removes nuisance and nefarious calls at the inception of the call flow, before they reach caregivers, agents, or patient-facing endpoints. By cleansing inbound voice traffic at the network edge, healthcare organizations can reduce risk, protect staff and patients, and preserve the integrity of clinical and administrative workflows, without disrupting legitimate, critical communications.

In real-world deployments across hospital systems and care facilities, Voice Traffic Filter has proven effective in the following:

• Safeguarding patient in-room phones, preventing scammers and fraudsters from targeting vulnerable patients within care facilities.
• Protecting nursing stations from call flooding, eliminating robocalls, spoofed calls, and spam storms that overwhelm caregivers and delay response.
• Preserving clinical and administrative workflows, ensuring staff are not diverted into triaging malicious or nuisance calls.
• Defending contact centers, IT help desks, and scheduling teams from vishing and social engineering attempts that often precede broader cyber intrusions;
• Improving patient experience and trust, by restoring reliable access to care teams without interference from unwanted voice traffic.

"Voice security has become inseparable from patient safety, operational continuity, and organizational trust," French added. "We are proud to support AHA members with a solution that delivers immediate risk reduction and long-term protection for the healthcare voice channel."
