Preventing Toll Fraud

“Toll fraud” is the unauthorized use of your telecommunications system by an unauthorized party (for example, a person who is not a corporate employee, agent, subcontractor, or working on your company’s behalf). Be aware that there may be a risk of toll fraud associated with your system and that, if toll fraud occurs, it can result in substantial additional charges for your telecommunica- tions services.

Providing Telecommunications Security

Telecommunications security of voice, data, and/or video commu- nications is the prevention of any type of intrusion to, that is, either unauthorized or malicious access to or use of, your com- pany’s telecommunications equipment) by some party.

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 (i.e., “networked equip- ment”).

An “outside party” is anyone who is not a corporate employee, agent, subcontractor, or working on your company’s behalf. Whereas, a “malicious party” is anyone, including someone who may be otherwise authorized, who accesses your telecommunica- tions equipment with either malicious or mischievous intent.

Such intrusions may be either to/through synchronous (time-mul- tiplexed and/or circuit-based) or asynchronous (character-, mes- sage-, 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 asso- ciated 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, finan- cial resources, labor costs, and/or legal costs.

Your Responsibility for Your Company’s Telecommunications Security

The final responsibility for securing both this system and its net- worked equipment rests with you – an Avaya customer’s system administrator, your telecommunications peers, and your managers. Base the fulfillment of your 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

•Avaya-provided software applications, as well as their underlying hardware/software platforms and interfaces

•Any other equipment networked to your Avaya products Avaya does not warrant that this product or any of its networked equipment is either immune from or will prevent either unautho- rized or malicious intrusions. Avaya will not be responsible for any charges, losses, or damages that result from such intrusions.
