Telecom Audit

New technology can make a telecom audit more difficult

The advent of IP telephony has created new hurdles for telecom administrators attempting an accurate and thorough telecom audit. As more telecom systems combine legacy/TDM and VoIP technology—often acquired from multiple vendors and likely involving interoperability issues—telecom administrators must invest more time and resources to perform an audit that is thorough and accurate enough to be helpful in improving security and performance. That is, unless they have the right tools, which is why so many telecom administrators are utilizing SecureLogix products for their telecom audit needs.
