The telecommunications body outlines several core measures required to protect users in the increasingly digitized economy:
Implementation of advanced fraud detection technologies across networks.
Deployment of enhanced regulatory frameworks to secure digital transactions.
Execution of increased public awareness campaigns to educate vulnerable users.
Closer coordination among industry stakeholders is deemed essential for improving scam resolution rates. Strengthening these collaborative defenses will determine the long-term security of digital transactions in India.
