Cloaked, the consumer-first privacy platform, announced the launch of two new security features – Call Guard and Dark Web & SSN Monitoring – designed to help individuals understand their privacy risk and protect themselves from rising digital threats.

“We believe privacy should feel empowering and Call Guard is our latest step in making this a reality,” said Arjun Bhatnagar, Co-founder and CEO of Cloaked. “It offers a smarter way to protect phone numbers from scams, spam, and unwanted calls without disconnecting from the world.”

Built directly into Cloaked’s all-in-one privacy platform and available to all users, Call Guard helps users screen for unwanted spam calls in real-time using a high-performance, adaptive AI model. Dark Web & SSN Monitoring identifies where individuals’ social security number and other personal information is found across the internet and the dark web and alerts users to their risk. Each tool, in tandem with Cloaked’s full suite of privacy features such as Data R****** and Virtual Identities, enables users to take immediate action and prevent bad actors from ever reaching them.

As digital threats become more sophisticated, Cloaked continues to innovate with solutions that make individual privacy personalized and attainable:

• Call Guard delivers immediate value by stopping phishing attempts and robocalls before ever reaching the user, drastically reducing spam and scam risk. Sitting between the user and a potential bad actor, Call Guard uses an advanced AI model to filter out unwanted calls by intercepting calls from unsaved numbers. The AI voice model converses with the caller, understands their motive in real-time to analyze patterns and identify potentially harmful calls. Based on this, it decides whether the call should be blocked or let through to the user. Users receive a full list and transcript of rejected calls in real-time to ensure nothing of importance falls through the cracks.

• Dark Web & SSN Monitoring empowers users to take timely action and stay informed of potential risk: With this new, 24/7 identity monitoring tool, users are alerted in real-time to where their social security number and other personal data are found on the internet and the dark web. The tool monitors for personal information including SSN, phone number, email address and home address.
