What is Trunk Fraud?
Nowadays, Trunk Fraud Hacking is a common threat and one that every business is likely to encounter at some stage. Though the severity of these hacks often depends on the skills and/or intentions of the person/persons doing the hacking (ranging from hobbyist, teenage amateurs to hardened criminals and terrorists), it pays business owners to stay in the loop on these matters and ensure that every precaution is taken to prevent their company from harm.
Though many hackers out there do it simply for the fun of it, there are also many out there that are much more malign in their intentions and use their sophisticated hacking skills to break into a company’s PBX, and drain vast amounts of money from their phone system by calling high rate numbers before moving on to the next victim without a trace. It is for this reason many businesses are choosing to take measures to defend themselves in the best way possible against such threats.
How does Gamma SIP Trunk Fraud Prevent This?
With Gamma SIP trunks installed, a business’s PBX is connected directly to Gamma’s network where users can benefit massively from the highly sophisticated anti-fraud software designed to combat precisely the kind of malign, hacking nastiness that we’ve just been discussing.
By logging into the Gamma protection portal, a company’s administrator can open the Fraud Management Menu and choose to set certain thresholds for daily and weekly spending on calls made from their PBX. So, for example, should a company suddenly receive a spike increase in calls made to premium numbers, Gamma would immediately notice and send a warning email or other type of notification instantly so the threat could be neutralized with minimum damage to the company's assets.
What makes Gamma better than alternative methods of protection?
With Gamma, the Fraud Protection Tool remains alert to unusual activity and all threats made to a business’s PBX around the clock for 7 days a week for constant protection. One of the huge benefits of this is that, due to the fact that IP based hacking is a worldwide epidemic, many of the hackers operate in different time zones from the other side of the world and will often attack in the middle of the night outside of working hours when they think a business is most vulnerable.
