Telecoms Security

Telecommunication systems are an integral part of IT infrastructure for most organisations. Risks introduced by telecoms infrastructure components can be easily overlooked. Specialised telecoms security services aim to address the imbalance.

Risks

Risks can be introduced by a variety of different components used in telecoms infrastructures. Cases of fraud in which attackers abuse PBX devices are well documented. Being the target of such an attack can result in a crippling telephone charges which are created by attackers using vulnerable PBX devices to place calls. Voice Mail box systems can also come under attack from those attempting to subvert security in order to listen to messages or make calls at the expense of the victims.
