NASHVILLE, TN — June 22, 2004 — Nashville-based Equinox Information Systems announced that Buyers United, Inc., a telecommunications services reseller located in Bluffdale, Utah, has deployed Protector 10 for fraud detection. The software monitors both traditional traffic and voice over IP (VoIP) calls to identify fraudulent activity.
Protector 10 operates through real-time analysis, comparing actual customer usage against expected patterns to flag suspicious behavior. The platform has supported hundreds of carriers over sixteen years using rules-based and profile-based technology.
Linda Huffman, Buyers United's Fraud Director, stated: "Buyers United selected Protector 10 because of its ability to quickly concentrate on suspect and fraudulent activity." She added that "Equinox is the industry leader in telecom fraud management software."
Scott Welch, Buyers United's CIO, called the implementation "one of the easiest system implementations I have ever been a part of."
David West, Equinox Executive Vice President, remarked: "Protector 10 is the most cost-effective fraud management system available; it is also a proven application with hundreds of licenses deployed worldwide."
