Abstract
When a failure notification is received that was transmitted from a service node indicating a failure of a wireless communication device to pass an authentication when attempting to register with a communication network, device information, network data, and a user profile associated with the wireless communication device is retrieved and processed to generate a network access score for the wireless communication device. If the network access score exceeds a priority threshold, a priority notification is transferred instructing the service node to bypass the authentication for the wireless communication device. If the network access score exceeds a legitimate user threshold but does not exceed the priority threshold, an access notification is transferred instructing the service node to bypass the authentication for the wireless communication device, and subsequent usage of the wireless communication device is monitored for fraudulent activity. If the network access score does not exceed the legitimate user threshold, a suspect notification is transferred instructing the service node to maintain the authentication for the wireless communication device.
