If abuses of an unsecured telecoms network get out of hand they can create operational problems, reducing the technical efficiency of the network, and adversely affecting business and customer interaction. And, of course, they may also cost the organisation a great deal of money. Our consultants have many years of experience helping organisations to secure telecoms networks. Our two-stage telecoms audit services monitor both inbound and outbound traffic, uncovering unauthorised modem use which, while often set up for perfectly legitimate reasons, can represent serious security risks. For example, support staff or contractors in charge of facilities management for an office building may set up a modem connection under the radar of the IT department in order to remotely control a facilities management server. If this connection is hijacked, it may allow an attacker to access this server and any other parts of the network linked to it.
