Fraud Protection Manager is used to protect against fraudulent calls by using lists of phone numbers to block, allow, redirect, and limit the rate of calls. Rules are configured in Fraud Protection Manager to handle fraudulent traffic and activate fraudulent phone lists by sending a single request to activate them on multiple southbound devices.

You can use Fraud Protection Manager with the Fraud Detection and Prevention (FDP) device, or use Fraud Protection Manager manually to detect and prevent telephony fraud on southbound devices. If you want to use an FDP device, you must install the Enterprise Utilities plug-in and add the FDP device in Device Manager. See the Device Manager chapter for more information about adding a device.

The Fraud Protection Manager feature can be automated by registering Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager (SDM) with a fraud detection device. SDM acts as a fraud update receiver that receives fraud updates from the FDP device and relays these updates to southbound devices, such as an ESBC to automatically stop fraudulent activity in the network. The FDP device can support multiple southbound devices to create a list of blacklist, white list, rate limit, and redirect information by monitoring calls, which is based on the data present in the network. SDM maintains a global fraudulent list which can originate from fraud detection devices, which in turn is shared with southbound devices for them to take further actions.

When you use the Fraud Protection Manager feature manually, you can import and manage fraudulent lists in SDM, which then shares these lists with devices to take further actions.
