Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for improving wireless network services by carrying out various procedures to identify and filter suspect user devices. A network function may monitor a plurality of network service requests from a particular user device and determine, based on the plurality of network services requests, that the requesting user device is engaged in suspicious activity. Upon such a determination, the network function may initiate one or more enforcement actions by communicating an instruction to an equipment identity register to add the requesting user device to a suspect device list stored on a unified data repository.
