The Evolving Threat Landscape in Telecom
3
Generally, telecom networks have always been prone to
security threats like malware attacks, data breaches, and
hacking. Attackers steal customer data, damage
infrastructure, and launch attacks on other systems by
targeting these networks.
Although AI benefits telecoms, at the same time, it adds a
new layer of complexity to the security situation. So, it asks
for precise and careful security management. Telecom
companies can enforce solid security measures to protect
training data utilized for AI models. This can encompass
data encryption, access controls, and regular audits,
ensuring data integrity and preventing unauthorized
modification.

AI for Threat Detection and Prevention

AI can be a powerful way to identify and mitigate security
threats. With AI-powered fraud management solutions,
enterprises can evaluate vast network data to find anomalies
that may indicate a potential issue. AI analyzes network
traffic patterns and identifies suspicious activities such as:
• Unusual Call Patterns
• CLI Spoofing
• Phishing Attempts
By continuously monitoring network activity and identifying
these anomalies, AI-powered telecom fraud management
systems can help prevent financial losses and protect
customers from falling victim to scams.

Secure the AI Supply Chain
The security of AI-powered telecom IT solutions is only as
strong as the security of the total development lifecycle. This
includes securing the algorithms, the data used to train them,
and the presently running infrastructure. Telecom companies
must ensure that renowned vendors with robust security
practices create AI algorithms for their use.
Additionally, the data should be vetted carefully, and it should
be used to train AI models so that they are free from
vulnerabilities and any kinds of biases. The AI systems'
infrastructure should be secure and hardened to fight potential
attacks.

AI-powered User Authentication
Increasingly, conventional user authentication methods like
passwords are proving vulnerable to hacking, posing
significant risks to security despite their widespread use.With
AI, more secure and easy authentication methods can be
created to resist attacks. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is
one such powerful method that AI can further enhance.
AI can dynamically adjust authentication requirements for
MFA depending on user behavior, location, and device. AI
can be utilized to authenticate users through facial or voice
recognition. Moreover, with the help of AI, telecom companies
can find anomalies in login attempts, reducing the risk of
unauthorized access.

Agent qualifications should focus on identifying trusted
individuals in their communities who possess the necessary
skills to handle financial interactions, offer expert guidance,
and navigate technology-driven systems. Banks must create
impactful agent incentives by designing a tiered commission
system that provides higher rewards for achieving specific
performance milestones.
Deploying a robust agency banking solution will equip agents
with user-centric, intuitive, and device-agnostic applications,
empowering them to deliver services effectively across
multiple channels.

Initially centered on cash-in and cash-out transactions,
agency banking is expanding its service portfolio. Product
evolution is critical, with offerings like nano credit loans, e-
commerce delivery support, and FMCG distributor cash
handling becoming part of the ecosystem. This expansion
drives transaction volumes and diversifies revenue
streams.
Channel evolution is equally vital. While agents support
cash-in and cash-out transactions, they also facilitate the
transition to digital channels. The primary delivery
channels are USSD, mobile apps, and smart Android POS
devices. Each channel offers unique advantages.
