SHERIFF is a telecom fraud detection and management system, originally developed by BT and MCI. SHERIFF is an acronym for Statistical Heuristic Engine to Reliably and Intelligently Fight Fraud.
History[edit]
Initially installed in 1998 to monitor BTs newly replaced calling card service - charge card - monitored out of the charge card operations centre in Liverpool. It was planned to expand the SHERIFF service into other BT LoBs but this was not completed.
Spin out[edit]
The SHERIFF system left BT when the fraud services group at BTs R&D site at Martlesham Heath in Suffolk UK was spun out as a separate entity known as Azure. Azure is now part of Subex.
