Securing your phone system database

Toll fraud typically involves “hacking” over phone lines instead of data hacking. However, the Wave database runs on a Windows server on your network and contains all permission settings and can be hacked at that level. It is always wise to keep your corporate network secure from unauthorized external access. This safeguards your database against tampering by network and computer hackers. Some ways to do this include:

Use standard firewall technology to secure access to your network. If desired, allow access to specific protocols and ports, such as those for HTTP (VoIP).
