Securing Your VoIP Network: Advanced Fraud Protection and Active Call Monitoring

## **Introduction** As VoIP technologies advance, so do the tactics of malicious actors. For telecom operators utilizing platforms like PortaSwitch and Telinta, securing the network against toll fraud and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks is paramount. PortaBilling MR70 introduces a robust suite of fraud protection tools designed to proactively defend your infrastructure and your bottom line. ## **1. Comprehensive Fraud Prevention Tools** PortaBilling doesn't just react to fraud; it anticipates it. The system is equipped with built-in mechanisms for Toll Fraud prevention and protection against DoS attacks. By continuously analysing traffic patterns and recognizing anomalies, the system can automatically block suspicious IP addresses or endpoints before significant financial damage occurs. ## **2. Spending Plans and Overdraft Protection** A key feature in managing risk is the implementation of Spending Plans. Administrators can define strict daily or monthly spending limits for individual accounts. Coupled with real-time Overdraft Protection, the moment a customer’s usage exceeds their authorized limit or available funds, the system instantly restricts outbound traffic, preventing unauthorized credit extensions. ## **3. Active Call Monitoring & Bandwidth Control** Security also means ensuring network stability. PortaBilling allows administrators to monitor active calls in real-time. Furthermore, providers can implement bandwidth-aware limitations on concurrent calls. By capping the number of simultaneous calls an account can make based on their product tier or network capacity, providers can prevent resource exhaustion and ensure high-quality service for all legitimate users.
