Providing Telecommunications Security
Telecommunications security (of voice, data, and/or video
communications) is the prevention of a ny type of intrusion to (that is, either
unauthorized or malicious access to or use of) your company's
telecommunications equipment by some party.
Y our company's “telecommunications equipment” includes both this Avaya
product and any other voice/data/video equipment that could be accessed
via this Avaya product (that is, “networked equipment”).
An “outside party” is anyone who is not a corporate employee, agent,
subcontractor, or is not working on your company's behalf. Whereas, a
“malicious party” is anyone (including someone who may be otherwise
authorized) who accesses your telecommunications equipment with either
malicious or mischievous intent.
Such intrusions may be either to/throu gh synchronous (time-multiplexed
and/or circuit-based), or asynchronous (character -, message-, or
packet-based) equipment, or interfaces for reasons of:
• Utilization (of capabilities special to the accessed equipment)
• Theft (such as, of intellectual property, financial assets , or toll
facility access)
• Eavesdropping (privacy invasions to humans)
• Mischief (troubling, but apparently innocuous, tampering)
• Harm (such as harmful tampering, data loss or alteration,
regardless of motive or intent)
Be aware that there may be a risk of unauthorized intrusions associated
with your system and/or its netw orked equipmen t. Also re alize th at, if su ch
an intrusion should occur, it could result in a variety of losses to your
company (including but not limited to, human/data privacy, intellectual
property, material assets, financial resources, labor cos t s, and/or legal
costs).
Responsibility for Your Company’s Telecommunications Security
The final responsibility for securing b oth this system and its networked
equipment rests with you - Avaya’s customer system administrator, your
telecommunications peers, and yo ur managers. Ba se the fulfil lment of yo ur
responsibility on acquired knowledge and resources from a variety of
sources including but not limited to:
• Installation documents
• System administration documents
• Security documents
• Hardware-/software-based security tools
• Shared information between you and your peers
• Telecommunications security experts
To prevent intrusions to your telecommunications equipment, you and your
peers should carefully program and configure:
• Your Avaya-provided telecommunications systems and their
interfaces
• Your Avaya-provided software applications, as well as their
underlying hardware/software platforms and interfaces
• Any other equipment networked to your Avaya products
