Telstra Event Detection API
Proactive protection against fraud
Savvy criminals are attempting to circumvent two factor authentication by swapping SIM cards for a particular mobile number. The Telstra Event Detection (TED) API monitors for SIM swap events and alerts your business quickly of suspicious activity.

How it works
-
A network event occurs
A range of events are detected by the Telstra Event Detection API, including changes being made to the assigned Australian carrier of a mobile number (carrier detection), swapping the SIM between mobile phones (SIM swap), and an Australian mobile phone travelling overseas (international roaming).
-
Integration with the Telstra mobile network and customer apps
The detected event triggers an alert, which passes through the Telstra firewall before the Telstra Event Detection API forwards the alert to the subscribing customer. The customer firewall recognises the message is from Telstra Event Detection and allows it to talk with the relevant app.
-
The customer is alerted and can take action
The alert allows the subscriber to action the alert and prevent fraudulent activity from occurring.
