Abstract

See full text

An exemplary system includes a first signal transfer point configured to communicate with a second signal transfer point via a communication network. The first signal transfer point is configured to generate an error message in response to receiving an unauthorized signal from the second signal transfer point. A monitoring system is in communication with the first signal transfer point. An order system is in communication with the monitoring system and is configured to store orders authorizing communication between the first signal transfer point and the second signal transfer point. The monitoring system is configured to receive the error message generated by the first signal transfer point and query the order system to determine whether an order authorizing the communication between the first signal transfer point and the second signal transfer point exists.
