Subscriber PC Audit
Application Name: Audit Sentry
The Audit Sentry application counts and reports the number of users behind a PC modem, helping to detect and resolve theft of service, intended or unintended, for the Provider. It can also alert subscribers to potentially unsecured Wi-Fi access. The network-based application provides continuous monitoring of the number of users on each account, even behind NAT or Wi-Fi routers, proxies, or firewalls. Any resulting high number of users on a single account, as set by the Provider, serves as a contributing indicator of potential theft of service.
Benefits:
- Providers can more easily spot those who may be attempting theft of service
- Providers can avoid any physical confrontation associated with on-site investigation of a potentially illegal sharing of a modem
- Providers can message the potential abuser, often causing the service theft to desist
- Unsuspecting subscribers can be made aware of uninvited access to their Wi-Fi network and take appropriate steps to secure it
