Airtel's AI system blocks malicious links, protects users

Airtel just rolled out an AI-powered fraud detection system in Tamil Nadu, and it's already blocked 1.8 lakh scam links in just 25 days. Scanning over a billion URLs daily across SMS, WhatsApp, and more, it zaps threats in under 100 milliseconds—so you're protected before you even notice.

TL;DR

No setup needed—protection is automatic and real-time

No setup needed—the protection is switched on automatically for all Airtel mobile and broadband users, at no extra cost. Alerts pop up in local languages like Tamil to help everyone stay safe, even if they're not tech-savvy. The system quietly works in the background using real-time threat intelligence.

Double-layered security at network and IT levels

Airtel's platform uses smart algorithms to spot suspicious patterns and blacklisted links, giving double-layered security at both network and IT levels. For now, it's live in Tamil Nadu and Haryana—but there are plans to roll this out across India soon.
