WeDo Technologies, a key player in revenue and business assurance, recently published its latest whitepaper, 'Embedded Mobile (M2M) - Telecoms Fraud & Security Management'. Praesidium Consulting, WeDo Tecnologies' business consulting division, has created the white paper.

In a press release, WeDo Technologies said that the new whitepaper focuses on the risks M2M services can cause operators, in terms of fraud and revenue assurance. and how they can effectively deal with these problems. The whitepaper builds on the company’s expertise and knowledge in the fraud management and revenue assurance space. Sources at WeDo said that the new whitepaper is the first in a new series of whitepapers aimed to educate CSPs on the fraud and revenue assurance problems that can occur when launching services based on new technologies.

New technologies open up new possibilities but also create new security issues for the consumers and business. The whitepaper examines the rise of M2M devices and services across a number of vertical sectors, and discusses the risks that they create for Communication Service Providers' (CSPs) businesses.

The whitepaper considers issues relating to greater complexity,  new data protection and the new operational procedures required. In addition, the whitepaper outlines a number of risk management and defense strategies that CSPs can adopt to counter the threats involved.

“M2M is an exciting technology that offers a host of benefits and additional revenue streams to operators,” said Simon Collins, WeDo Technologies’ vice president for its business consulting division. “However, as with many new technologies, it also brings with it a number of threats to both consumer security and revenue assurance. When planning for and launching M2M strategies, operators must defend themselves and their customers against these fraud risks in order to protect their brand reputation and business for the long term.”
