Phone Phreaking

Phone phreaking is on the rise

Phone phreaking, the act of gaining access to corporate telecom networks for fun or malicious activity, is gaining in popularity. Before computer hacking took over, phreaking was the dominant underground tech activity. Some phone phreakers just wanted to understand how telecom infrastructure worked. Others wanted free long distance. As voice and data networks continue to merge, phone phreaking represents a much more dangerous threat as phreakers can gain back door access to corporate networks through unsecured modems and steal data, launch attacks and generally wreak havoc for an enterprise.

Block phone phreaking with powerful set of management tools

To stop phone phreaking telecom managers need a robust set of tools. The ETM System delivers an integrated set of applications that not only solve security issues, but performance and reporting needs as well.

The ETM System's Voice Firewall is a first of its kind security application that presents the best line of defense against phone phreaking. Residing on the edge of the corporate voice network, similar to a data firewall, the voice firewall scans inbound and outbound voice traffic and can terminate any suspicious activity. The ETM System's Voice IPS is another security application, providing real-time alerts to telecom managers when phreaking activity is suspected. ETM System's Usage Manager and Performance Manager provide call reporting and performance detail, respectively, which can be used to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in the voice system which might be otherwise exploited through phone phreaking.
