TruNumber Protect

TruNumber^® Protect

TruNumber Protect enables communications service providers (CSPs) to fight fraud with reliable data that is sourced from national regulators, telecom consortiums, industry associations and numbering administrators from around the world. It helps CSPs block many types of fraud and suspicious activity, including one-ring scams, PBX hacking fraud, international revenue share fraud (IRSF), interconnection-related revenue leakage and fraudulent roaming calls to premium-rate services. It also enables CSPs to apply Origin-based Rating (OBR) mechanisms to accurately charge for terminating calls based on the originating telephone number range.

eliminating customer challenges with TruNumber Protect

increased fraudulant activity

Fraudsters grow more devious and sophisticated every year. For CSPs, that means billions lost annually. The most effective way to reduce this cost is to stop the crime before it takes place. The power of TruNumber Protect data is that it alerts fraud prevention teams about impending attacks from high-risk number ranges so that fraudulent calls and texts can be identified and blocked before entering the network.

loss of reputation

In the highly competitive telecom industry, CSPs are focused on creating and launching innovative services to differentiate their services. Each technology and service added means new opportunities for fraudsters to infiltrate the network. To combat this, security and fraud strategies need to remain robust. Leveraging TruNumber Protect’s high-quality numbering data allows CSPs to proactively protect their network and their customers from being the unwitting victim of new attacks and criminal activity.

decrease in revenue

CSPs traditionally charge flat-rate termination fees regardless of the call’s originating country, the CSP or the type of connection used. Adding TruNumber Protect to existing rating and billing solutions simplifies and streamlines Origin-based Rating (OBR) management and ensures that the correct amount is being charge based on the call’s originating country, CSP and line type.

how TruNumber Protect can help

The power of TruNumber Protect data allows CSPs to proactively stop fraud before it ever enters the network, making fraud prevention efforts even more efficient. Use it to quickly identify and block fraudulent calls to and from high-risk number ranges or to obtain early warnings to alert fraud prevention teams about impending attacks. It immediately blocks fraudulent calls including unallocated and premium rate numbers so CSPs don’t need to rely on past fraud events to stop future fraud attempts, enabling immediate preventive action in real time.
