Change passwords frequently (at least quarterly). Set password expiration times and tell users when the changes go into effect. Changing passwords routinely on a specific date (such as the first of the month) helps users to remember to do so.

Establish well-controlled procedures for resetting passwords.

Limit the number of invalid attempts to access a voice mail to five or less.

Monitor access to the dial-up maintenance port. Change the access password regularly and issue it only to authorized personnel. Consider using the Remote Port Security Device (RPSD) — a Lucent Technologies product that helps protect your administration and maintenance ports from unauthorized access.

Create a PBX system management policy concerning employee turnover and include these actions:

Delete all unused voice mailboxes in the voice mail system.

If an employee is terminated, immediately delete any voice mailboxes belonging to that employee.

If a terminated employee had Remote Access calling privileges and a personal authorization code, remove the authorization code immediately.

If barrier codes and/or authorization codes were shared by the terminated employee, these should be changed immediately. Notify the remaining users as well.

If the terminated employee had access to the system administration interface, their login ID should be removed (G3V3 or later). Any associated passwords should be changed immediately.

Back up system files regularly to ensure a timely recovery should it be required. Schedule regular, off-site backups.

Keep the attendant console and supporting documentation in an office that is secured with a changeable combination lock. Provide the combination only to those individuals having a real need to enter the office.
