Your 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/through synchronous
•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 networked equipment. Also realize that, if such 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 costs, and/or legal costs).
