Dianne Doodnath,\u00a0Principal of Economic Crime at UK Finance,\u00a0said: \u201cTo address social engineering tactics used by criminals, cross-industry collaboration has once again proven critical. Working with GSMA has been invaluable in making UK mobile network operators available to support and\u00a0analyse data with our financial services members. This collaboration has resulted in a strong solution that should have a real impact by identifying criminal activity and increasing fraud detection.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brian Gorman, Fintech Lead at GSMA, continued \u201cIt is great to see the result of our members\u2019 collaboration directly addressing that problem and providing significant benefit to the UK public \u2013 Scam Signal is already detecting fraudulent calls and stopping transactions to criminals.\u00a0Delivering this solution was made possible by the close\u00a0collaboration between our members and UK Finance and its members; and we are looking forward to continuing our valuable work together.\u201d<\/p>\n

In this interview with Suparna Goawani from Information Security Media Group, Dianne and Brian discuss the challenges of APP scams, the collaborative model they developed with their members, and the innovative Scam Signal solution.<\/p>\n\n\n
