Telecommunications Firewall
A telecommunications firewall can secure voice, data networks
A telecommunications firewall is now a necessity for securing a voice network. Sitting on the perimeter of the voice network, it provides a first line of defense by inspecting in-line signaling to monitor for attacks, and limiting packet rates to/from IP address to "reasonable" levels (since signaling is low bandwidth) to help prevent DoS and identify hackers. For a superior telecommunications firewall, enterprises around the world have chosen SecureLogix®.

Telecommunications firewall is part of a comprehensive approach to security
SecureLogix ETM System can dramatically improve security of the voice network. Applications include a voice intrusion prevention system, for detecting intrusive calling patterns in real-time; a call recording application that enables automatic recording of suspicious calls; a performance management application that provides real-time visibility into the health-and-status of the voice network; a powerful call accounting system that can improve insight into network usage and problems; and a telecommunications firewall.
The telecommunications firewall handles all traffic on the telephony network, approving or turning away all attempts to pass through the firewall based on a set of policies established by the telecommunications manager. The telecommunications firewall can enforce policies such as
- Allow outbound modem calls, but only to specific numbers at specific times
- Terminate any modem call not explicitly authorized
- Allow inbound modem calls from know numbers, but only for a fixed duration
- Require users to authenticate themselves
- Allow outbound video communications from three users only
- Terminate any inbound video calls and send an email alert to telecommunications manager
- Inform telecommunications manager of any outbound calls during non-business hours
