Nashville, TN — October 20, 2020 — XConnect and Equinox Information Systems have formed a partnership to combat International Revenue Share Fraud (IRSF) by integrating XConnect's Global Numbering Intelligence into Equinox's Protector fraud management platform. This collaboration enables carriers to monitor and filter fraudulent traffic in real-time.
IRSF attacks direct calls to unallocated numbers and redirect traffic to expensive destinations. Carriers relying on a single technique often produce false positives and block legitimate traffic. The combined solution leverages real-time data integration and analytics to prevent fraud losses through automated responses ranging from number disabling to configuration adjustments.
"Fraudsters have a lot of inventory for their man-in-the-middle attacks that cost carriers billions of dollars per year." — Tim Ward, SVP, XConnect
"Telecom fraud costs companies nearly $30 billion every year. XConnect's number intelligence strengthens our fraud prevention capabilities in a meaningful way." — David West, EVP, Equinox Information Systems
XConnect consolidates telephone number intelligence from hundreds of global datasets to address routing, validation, and fraud challenges. The partnership gives Equinox Protector customers access to more than 6 million records of global numbering range data spanning more than 35 countries.
