ITU-T D.170/Suppl.5 (05/2013) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunicat
14、ion Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (
15、WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fal
16、l within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this publication, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this publi
17、cation is voluntary. However, the publication may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the publication is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met.

The guidelines presented below ar
25、e voluntary. As clause 3.7 (countermeasures) notes, several industry expert forums exist, including the Forum for the International Irregular Network Access (FIINA), the GSMA Fraud Group, and the i3Forum, where operators exchange information on fraudulent practices and methods for mitigating such pr
26、actices. Interested operators are encouraged to participate in the work of these organizations. How to define fraud is a national matter and varies by jurisdiction. Therefore, this supplement does not provide a definition or identify possible fraud practices. 1.2 Benefits of these guidelines The ben
27、efits that the guidelines are envisioned to bring to telecommunication operators are as follows: to help telecommunication operators formulate a set of guidelines (if none is yet in place) according to their needs, or review their existing policy; to ensure efficiency in managing accounts. 2 Abbrevi

29、uld ensure full information sharing regarding fraud types among the various internal departments involved in the international interconnection business (i.e., sales, network, revenue assurance and billing). 3.2 A well-defined fraud prevention, detection and management internal process with clear res
30、ponsibilities and service level agreements Operators should establish a set of processes and procedures encompassing all steps from the prevention to the detection of fraudulent behaviour related to international traffic exchange. These 2 Rec. ITU-T D.170/Suppl.5 (05/2013) processes and procedures s
31、hould be shared with the relevant internal teams, along with a well-defined Action Plan, supported by service level agreements (SLAs). This should include “dashboards“ that have easy visibility to teams involved. 3.3 Communication: Frequent information sharing concerning abnormalities, and regular p
32、eriodic review Open communication and information sharing regarding abnormalities reported in traffic and on the network should be part of the fraud-handling mechanism, along with regular periodic review of the progress made on cases that have been reported. 3.4 Define threshold limits for further i
33、nvestigation On the basis of the availability of a fraud management system and other resources, there should be clear financial limits that trigger investigation and focus resources on critical cases for investigation purposes. 3.5 Review interconnection agreements Interconnection agreements between
34、 operators are commercial, mutually-agreed arrangements. Some operators may consider developing an interconnection agreement to include a provision that explains how fraudulent activities will be handled. Some current interconnection agreements may be very general in nature and operators may conside
