For maximum telecom security, a telecom firewall is imperative

Telecom firewall an integral part of security applications

The ETM® System includes several important security applications, chief among which is the telecom firewall.

The telecom firewall controls all inbound and outbound traffic on the voice network, allowing or denying data to pass through based on administrator defined policies. Policies can alert and control call activity based on any call detail record fields (source, destination, call direction, duration, time of call) as well as call/CODEC type (voice, data/modem, fax, video, STUIII) and the absence of caller ID. Policies can be grouped by and distributed across any combination of phone stations in a network.

The telecom firewall works together with data firewalls to establish a cost-effective front line defense against the numerous threats against corporate data and voice security.
