Abstract: A system and method for preventing illicit use of a telephony platform that includes enrolling a plurality of accounts on a telecommunications platform, wherein an account includes account configuration; at a fraud detection system of the telecommunications platform, receiving account usage data, wherein the usage data includes at least communication configuration data and billing configuration data of account configuration and further includes communication history of the plurality of accounts; calculating fraud scores of a set of fraud rules from the usage data, wherein at least a sub-set of the fraud rules include conditions of usage data patterns between at least two accounts; detecting when the fraud scores of an account satisfy a fraud threshold; and initiating an action response when a fraud score satisfies the fraud threshold.

Abstract: A system and method for triggering on platform usage can include at a platform, receiving and storing a trigger configuration of an account; operating a platform comprising internally executing a process on behalf of an account and publishing at least one event when executing the process; at the platform, incrementing a counter in response to the at least one event and if the stored trigger configuration species a usage key associated with a category of counted events of the at least one event; monitoring counters in a context of an associated trigger; and processing the trigger upon the counter satisfying condition of an associated trigger.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for lowering network latency for cloud-based services. Service-delivery edge locations allow customers to improve communication-providers public and private network connectivity for improved performance. One method includes operations for performing, by an edge server, a handshake to establish a communication session between a client and a main server, and for exchanging data between the client and the main server via the edge server. The handshake includes exchanging, by the edge server, communication initiation messages with the client, and validating, by the edge server, authentication credentials for the communication session based on the communication initiation messages.
