Roaming Fraud Managed Service

M Protect

MACH’s Outsourced Fraud Protection Service is highly flexible and minimizes the threat from international roaming fraud, without burdening you with the administration and analysis overheads that are usually associated with fraud management. Many different types of data can be processed in near real-time, enabling MACH to identify fraud on your behalf. MACH will notify you of potential fraud risks at any time of day or night, 365 days a year.

MACH’s Fraud Protection is achieved by combining global intelligence from multiple networks, so that the characteristics of fraud identified on one network can be used to give early warning of fraud on another. MACH uses advanced modeling techniques to profile subscribers and compare their patterns of behavior to that of fraudulent behavior patterns. This means that fraud detection is based on many behavioral attributes, not just on simple threshold alarms.

The characteristics of roaming fraud may differ from other frauds. MACH’s fraud detection system has been built specifically for roaming fraud and can therefore complement your existing fraud detection systems. In a national home network, fraud detection may be largely based on the value of calls made, however in the roaming environment many other characteristics of calling behavior are important. Various characteristics can be combined into “hot combinations” and maintained in MACH’s Fraud System. They may involve thousands of combinations with the history of millions of subscribers.

Fraud Protection offers you the following benefits:

  • Improved roaming fraud protection from day one:
    By utilizing existing NRTRDE data, TAP files and High Usage Reports, Fraud Protection will provide protection against roaming fraud without the need to implement a new system.
  • Provide detection of complex roaming fraud:
    You can optimize fraud protection by utilizing MACH’s global expertise in detecting roaming fraud. MACH will inform you of any high risk situations.
  • Free your own resources to work on optimizing protection:
    You can leave trivial fraud protection tasks to MACH to free your resources to work on other high value fraud cases to establish a preventive defence.
  • Get a cost effective shortcut to 24x7 fraud surveillance:
    The 24x7 surveillance offered by MACH’s Fraud Protection Centre is highly cost effective and provides a rapid reaction to the increasingly fast fraud attacks seen in roaming.
  • No investments needed for new incoming NRTRDE dataflow:
    Fraud Protection takes NRTRDE, TAP and HUR inputs. As roaming partners migrate to NRTRDE, there is no impact to your systems.
