AUDIX Traffic Reports
The INTUITY AUDIX system tracks traffic data over various timespans. Reviewing
these reports on a regular basis helps to establish traffic trends. If increased
activity or unusual usage patterns occur, such as heavy call volume on ports
assigned to outcalling, they can be investigated immediately. In addition, the
AUDIX Administration and Data Acquisition Package (ADAP) uses a PC to
provide extended storage and analysis capabilities for the traffic data. You can
also use the AUDIX Administration Log and Activity Log to monitor usage and
investigate possible break-in attempts.
Lucent Technologies’s Statement of
Direction
The telecommmunications industry is faced with a significant and growing
problem of theft of customer services. To aid in combating these crimes, Lucent
Technologies intends to strengthen relationships with its customers and its
support of law enforcement officials in apprehending and successfully
prosecuting those responsible.
No telecommunications system can be entirely free from risk of unauthorized use.
But diligent attention to system management and to security can reduce that risk
considerably. Often, a tradeoff is required between reduced risk and ease of use
and flexibility. Customers who use and administer their systems make this
tradeoff decision. They know best how to tailor the system to met their unique
needs and, necessarily, are in the best position to protect the system from
unauthorized use. Because the customer has ultimate control over the
configuration and use of Lucent services and products it purchases, the
customer properly bears responsibility for fraudulent uses of those services and
products.
To help customers use and manage their systems in light of the tradeoff
decisions they make and to ensure the greatest security possible, Lucent
Technologies commits to the following:
■ Lucent products and services will offer the widest range of options
available in the industry to help customers secure their communications
systems in ways consistent with their telecommunications needs.
■ Lucent Technologies is committed to develop and offer services that, for a
fee, reduce or eliminate customer liability for PBX toll fraud, provided the
customer implements prescribed security requirements in its
telecommunications systems.
■ Lucent’s product and service literature, marketing information and
contractual documents will address, wherever practical, the security
features of our offerings and their limitations, and the responsibility our
customers have for preventing fraudulent use of their Lucent products and
services.
