DALLAS, TX, January 28, 2026 - Shush Inc. today announced it has been named the winner of the Juniper Research Telco Innovation Awards 2026 Telecoms & Connectivity Start-up of the Year (Company) - its second consecutive year receiving a Juniper Telco Innovation Award. These awards reflect Shush’s ability to build a category-defining company by working hand-in-hand with the global telecom ecosystem - including mobile network operators, GSMA initiatives and the CAMARA project, technology partners, and standards bodies - to accelerate real-world adoption of network-based identity and security services.
Since its founding, Shush has taken an entrepreneurial, industry-first approach to innovation - collaborating closely with operators, aggregators, and subject-matter experts to solve long-standing challenges in fraud, authentication, and monetization. The company has deliberately assembled a team of seasoned leaders across engineering, security, telecom operations, standards, and go-to-market, combining deep carrier expertise with startup execution speed. This model has enabled Shush to translate global standards and emerging network capabilities into scalable, commercially viable solutions that operators can deploy with confidence.
Built on this foundation, Shush’s Sherlock platform enables mobile network operators to operationalize and monetize network authentication and anti-fraud capabilities at global scale - turning trusted network signals into revenue-generating solutions delivering critical identity data for fraud prevention to enterprises, developers, and digital platforms worldwide.
"We are incredibly honored to receive this recognition from Juniper Research," said Eddie DeCurtis, Co-Founder and CEO of Shush Inc. "This award validates our mission to inject hope into the industry by making Network Authentication ubiquity possible worldwide. The Sherlock platform is network agnostic, supports 47+ APIs - including eight stable CAMARA Network Authentication APIs - and is the first to announce the support for TS.43 EAP-AKA compliant Silent Authentication, setting a new global standard for security and user experience."
“This award is especially meaningful because it reflects the progress our team has made in building something real, durable, and impactful in a very short period of time,” said Daryl Carlough, Co-Founder and CFO of Shush Inc. “Our engineers, security leaders, and commercial teams have executed with exceptional focus and discipline, turning a bold vision into a platform that carriers can deploy, monetize, and scale globally. The recognition from Juniper Research is a testament to the people behind Sherlock and the momentum we’re carrying into 2026.”
In less than 18 months since its September 2024 platform market launch, Shush has already brought over 100 million subscribers under coverage across major international and regional carriers, demonstrating its immediate and significant impact. This number is expected to grow significantly in 2026. The company’s sole focus on the supply-side - empowering the world's 1,000+ carriers to connect with the demand side eager for anti-fraud services - is key to its success.
The Sherlock platform’s cloud-agnostic architecture, commitment to CAMARA and GSMA Open Gateway standards, and robust SOC 2 Type II security compliance further cement its position as the premier solution for carrier API management and monetization.
