NASHVILLE, TN — September 24, 2013 — Equinox Information Systems announced that Velocity Networks, a California-based business solutions provider, has licensed the Protector fraud management system. Telecom fraud — when individuals or companies use telecommunications services without payment — directly impacts revenue, making fraud management critical for service providers.
Theresa Kammermeier, Director of Operations & Engineering at Velocity Networks, stated: "Less than one month after going live with the Equinox Protector system, we have already realized a return on our investment!"
Protector uses dynamic usage profiling and proprietary monitoring metrics to identify suspicious activity rather than targeting specific fraud types. The system sends real-time alerts to analysts and employs a weighted scoring algorithm to determine fraud risk levels, with higher scores triggering escalation alerts.
David West, Equinox Executive Vice President, noted that Protector enabled Velocity Networks to "rapidly identify and shut down fraud while avoiding a costly hit to their bottom line."
