Systems of protection against violations а guarantee of the financial stability of operators

Abstract

An analysis of the types of traffic-related frauds on telecommunication networks was carried out. Violations on telecommunication networks are the actions of subscribers, telecommunications operators or third parties who are directed to receive telecommunication services at a lower rate or without payment. CFCA experts count about 200 types of violations on telecommunication networks. The most common violations on the part of operators are the unauthorized termination of incoming long-distance and international traffic to the public network under the guise of a local one, without appropriate contracts. Abuses lead to significant loss of income. The most common among subscribers are third-party connection to the subscriber line in order to receive free telematics services of the "900" service, making long-term international calls, and organizing unauthorized meeting points. On the part of third parties, it is a violation to use hardware and software to receive international traffic from the Internet and complete it on a public telecommunications network under the guise of a local one, which leads to interference in the operation of communication means, substitution of call information. The fight against misuse of telecommunication networks relies to a large extent on the analysis of data about services and data contained in settlement systems with subscribers and operators. Detection of suspicious actions of subscribers and their analysis is the main operating principle of modern Fraud Management System (FMS) protection systems. The key criteria for the effectiveness of FMS are the speed of work, the flexibility of setting up algorithms that ensure the detection and analysis of incidents, and the availability of standardized interfaces for integration with billing platforms. Practical recommendations for creating protection systems against Fraud Management System (FMS) violations are provided.
