- Fraud Best Practices: Applies strong fraud controls (KYC/K-IDV, MFA hardening, behavioural rules, IMEI/device intelligence, SIM/eSIM safeguards, change-control gating, step-up authentication, chargeback mitigation), ensuring alignment across Fraudulent Activations, ATO, and Nuisance Calling portfolios.
- Emerging Threat Awareness: Tracks new social-engineering patterns, bot/farm behaviour, synthetic IDs, mule accounts, call-spoofing/spam campaigns, and fraudster adaptation to controls.
