BlackDice Joins GSMA Open Gateway as Channel Partner, sharing AI-Powered Cyber Defence to the Global Operator Ecosystem

The partnership brings BlackDice behavioural intelligence and network security capabilities into the GSMA Open Gateway programme.

LEEDS, YORKSHIRE, UNITED KINGDOM, August 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The partnership brings BlackDice behavioural intelligence and network security capabilities into the GSMA Open Gateway programme, enabling operators worldwide to deliver built-in fraud prevention and subscriber protection at scale.

BlackDice, the AI-powered cyber defence platform built for telecoms operators, has joined the GSMA Open Gateway programme as a channel partner. The partnership enables operators connected to the programme to access BlackDice intelligence capabilities through standardised CAMARA APIs, turning network-level security into a deployable, commercial service for operators and the businesses that depend on them.

GSMA Open Gateway is a framework of universal network APIs that gives developers and enterprises consistent, standardised access to operator capabilities across the globe. More than 300 mobile networks representing more than 80% of the world’s mobile connections are taking part in the initiative alongside 77 channel and technology partners. Together they are accelerating how network-native capabilities reach enterprise customers across banking, retail and beyond.

Security built into the connection itself
Most security products ask subscribers to do something: install an app, configure a setting, remember a code. BlackDice works at the network level, which means protection is automatic and invisible, delivered through the connection itself. Joining GSMA Open Gateway extends that capability further, bringing the intelligence BlackDice provides to operators directly into the ecosystems those operators serve.

For subscribers, this means faster and simpler sign-up and login through instant mobile connection verification, removing the passwords, codes and friction that cause drop-off. It also means fraud is stopped before it causes harm. By combining what the network knows with what BlackDice sees on devices, account takeovers and SIM swap scams are caught in the moment, not after damage has been done.

Reaching further across the digital economy
As a channel partner, BlackDice extends the reach of its protection beyond individual operators to the banks, retailers and businesses that rely on them. Operators can now turn trust and safety into commercial services that enterprise customers will pay for, with BlackDice at the core. This creates a tangible new revenue stream while strengthening the value proposition operators offer to their business customers.

The partnership reflects a broader shift in how security is delivered across the industry. Rather than a product bolted onto connectivity, protection becomes a built-in outcome of the connection itself, reshaping how security is accessed, acted upon and experienced across the digital economy.

“Operators have always been at the centre of how people connect. What they have not always had is the network-level intelligence to make that connection actively protective. That changes with this partnership. Joining GSMA Open Gateway means the capabilities we have built at the network level can now reach further, faster, benefiting not just the operator but every business and subscriber they serve. Security stops being a feature and starts being a fact of connectivity.”
Paul Hague, Founder and CEO, BlackDice

“BlackDice brings something genuinely differentiated to the Open Gateway programme. Their ability to combine network-level intelligence with device-level behavioural signals addresses one of the hardest problems operators face: stopping fraud and protecting subscribers in real time, without adding friction. The capabilities they bring will be valuable not just to operators but to the enterprises and institutions that rely on operator networks every day. We are pleased to welcome them as a channel partner.”
Henry Calvert, Head of Networks, GSMA
