Avaya’s Statement of Direction
The telecommunications industry is faced with a significant and growing problem
of theft of customer services. To aid in combating these crimes, Avaya 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 the risk of unauthorized
use. However, diligent attention to system management and to security can
reduce that risk considerably. Often, a trade-off is required between reduced risk
and ease of use and flexibility. Customers who use and administer their systems
make this trade-off decision. They know how to best tailor the system to meet 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 Avaya services and products it purchases, the customer
properly bears responsibility for fraudulent uses of those services and products.
