BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
CSG (NASDAQ: CSGS), the trusted partner in simplifying the complexity of business
transformation in the digital age, today announced the availability
of CSG Detect, a software as a service (SaaS) solution aimed at
detecting and notifying telecommunications companies real-time of
potential fraud in their billing process.
Fraud
presents a huge problem for mobile network operators (MNOs) around
the world, costing nearly $30 billion USD in 20171. As
service providers look to embrace new technologies in order to keep pace
with industry transformation, fraud will increase in complexity as well.
Couple this with the ever-increasing number of devices used by
consumers, and the number of consumers at risk of having their personal
data accessed or falling victim to fraudulent schemes could increase as
well.
Most fraud solutions require heavy resources and manual processes in
order to detect and block fraud. As a result, by the time it is blocked,
it has already impacted the company. In addition, traditional fraud
management applications are either active applications using test calls
or passive applications that only analyze live traffic. Using either of
these techniques in isolation will only identity a fraction of the total
fraud scenarios.
The CSG
Detect solution provides fully integrated active and passive testing
that enables fast, accurate and comprehensive detection of fraud. CSG
Detect has shown to have a much higher fraud detection rate using this
combined approach. The cloud-based solution utilizes emerging
technologies including Hadoop, a big data technology, as well as
artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning to analyze near real-time
traffic. This includes an SMS/text messaging and voice feature to
identify fraud and alert customers in real time. A combination of CSG
Detect with CSG Route’s network provisioning framework enables automatic
blocking of fraudulent traffic before any substantial losses are
incurred.
“As service providers grow and expand their offerings to meet consumer
demand, investing in the right technologies and solutions to combat
fraud is paramount to their business,” said Chad
Dunavant, head of global product management, CSG. “The launch of CSG
Detect service is a gamechanger toward reinforcing and safeguarding the
security of their ecosystem, while its cloud-based infrastructure
provides a fast and cost-effective means to combat fraud for itself and
its customers.”
