Traditional thinking in network access focuses on data pipes, but as voice equipment becomes network attached, another, often neglected, point of access opens up. SecureLogix's ETM platform protects the PBX. This well-designed, well-targeted product can detect voice, modem, fax or STU-encrypted inbound and outbound calls dynamically and apply policies to each, giving you unprecedented control over how your telecommunication system is used. Limiting modem calls to a few authorized lines that support your dial-pool means you don't have to worry about users putting modems on desktop computers, thus removing wide-open back doors. The ETM platform installs transparently in front of the PBX, which allows your telecom administrators to control the PBX while security administrators enforce security policy, eliminating political tensions.
