What is GSMA IRSF Prevention?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

IRSF Fraud Prevention enables you to prevent IRSF (International Revenue Share Fraud) and SMS AIT (Artificial Inflation of Traffic) from happening before attacks take place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It collects and processes information on international premium rate numbers (IPRNs) and their availability to fraudsters in real time<\/em>. Due to the scale, reach and speed of the service, fraudsters are spotted early on, before an attack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every day, thousands of IPRNs and IRSF incidents are discovered in our global threat feed. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why is it important for your business?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For more than a decade, IRSF has been responsible for causing large financial losses for enterprises and communication service providers. Which is why this new approach is needed to stop it before it starts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fraudsters use different techniques to commit IRSF, but there is always one common element \u2013 the use of IPRNs and the exploitation of routes where the traffic is hijacked.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
