Preventing toll fraud
"Toll fraud" is the unauthorized use of your telecommunications system
by an unauthorized party (for example, anyone who is not a corporate
employee, agent, subcontractor, or person 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 telecommunications services.

Providing telecommunications security
Telecommunications security (of voice, data, and video communications)
is the prevention of any type of intrusion to (that is, either unauthorized or
malicious access to or use of) your company'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 (that is, "networked equipment").
An "outside party" is anyone who is not a corporate employee, agent,
subcontractor, or person 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 (time-multiplexed
and/or circuit-based) or asynchronous (character-, message-, or
packet-based) equipment or interfaces for reasons of:
• Use (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 and data privacy,
intellectual property, material assets, financial resources, labor costs, and
legal costs).
Your responsibility for your company's telecommunications
security
The final responsibility for securing both this system and its networked
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
• Your Avaya-provided software applications, as well as their
underlying hardware/software platforms and interfaces
• Any other equipment networked to your Avaya products.
