Shift at Work
Changing Modus Operandi
Agenda
From “Walled Garden” to “Dumb Pipe” Telecom Operators Evolution
Network Content Device Customer Connectivity

Operators’ Main Challenges (2013-2015)
Source: Informa, March 2013
Almost secretive units within the operator
Low visibility within the organization Low to non-existent involvement in
internal, non-fraud procedures Need to justify buying an FMS Need to justify the existence of the unit Lack of internal procedures and work
methodology Highly reactive modus operandi
5
Exist in most telcos Most of the units have a vendor-based FMS
or an internal-built one Methodology has evolved and is now
established Unit is well recognized as an operative,
“main stream” unit Integral part of the internal workflow in
product launches, sales operations, etc. Focus is on saving as much money and
preventing as much damage as possible

Telcos are going through a gradual change
Revenues changed due to changes in products & plans
A shift towards bundles
New flat tariff plans
All included plans Unlimited
Voice/SMS/Data

Change in Fraud Management
If traffic is unlimited …
– No more “high usage” ?
– No more “abnormal” traffic behavior ?
Change of fraud incentives ?
– Why bother with fraud if it’s all so cheap and unlimited anyway?
Change of Fraud Management strategy ?
– Who are we after ?
In order to stay relevant – Fraud units must re-assess their strategy and their work focus
Detecting more % of fraud – will not cut it any longer . . .
So does detecting fraud on new technologies – All this is “more of the same” – which is not enough any more
A real need for change has surfaced in order to stay relevant

If you don’t like what’s BEING said CHANGE the conversation
Expanding traditional work “borders” and responsibilities
Leveraging available databases for uses outside the fraud realm
Effective quick and prompt reactions to different needs of the organization
Strong analytical abilities
Shortening internal process to get quicker, better insights for the org.

Fraud units “sit” on an essential, insightful mountain of straw – that with the right approach can turn to valuable gold
Utilizing existing databases can generate strong positioning within the organization since no CAPEX needed
Increasing cross-department cooperation
Big Data Analytics
Turning a challenging time into an opportunity for growth
12
Big Data Analytics
13
The need for immediate retrieval of info from a massive, cross-channel database
Significantly helps in areas such as:
─ LTE – where volumes of data are enormous
─ Security matters – Info needed “here and now”
─ Info sharing and intelligence gathering
─ Cyber security matters
Exploring new grounds
Fraud units monitor routes of calls, destination countries; statistics are available to them
The percentage of fraud calls to a specific country means GOLD
This info is available SOLELY to the fraud management department
This should bring recommendations (close the route/change billing/rates etc.) and further cooperation with the relevant department
14
Detection of abusers/unfair users in unlimited/bundle plans
Presenting statistics and trends of unlimited plans with focus on abuse
Providing network recommendations as a result (e.g., automatic actions)
Establishing policy enforcement procedures
15
Provide high level statistics on risks, threats and fraud findings per LOB
M2M / Mobile Money/ LTE
Drill down capabilities
Present % of fraud per LOB to define actions accordingly
Assess future risks and threats and present them in figures according to current findings
Alert on high risk services on regular basis
16
17
Provide actionable insights into the business performance
Utilizing data from different sources (Risk, Fraud & RA)
Support specific LOB and needs (e.g., LTE, Mobile Money, M2M, Video)
Shift towards monetary terms and statistics rather than specific incidents and specific subscribers
A shift towards trends analysis Expend cross company/department cooperation Infuse risk factors to marketing strategy
Changing Modus Operandi
Bottom Line

Find new growth engines outside
traditional space
Reducing revenue related risks
Improving margins
Greater visibility of risks and
mitigation
Enable advanced analytics for other
uses than fraud
