Consider the lowly modem. Seems harmless enough, but the reality is that your telecom system could be your company's Achilles' heel. All the pricey firewalls and IDSs you've set up to guard your data network can be thwarted by one unsecured modem. An intruder who can hack into a legacy PBX could set up an international line and run up big toll charges. Employees may sidestep content filtering by dialing into an ISP using your telephone system.

When the opportunity arose to test Secure-Logix's ETM suite, the only enterprise-level platform for securing analog and digital circuits connected to divergent and dispersed PBX platforms, we jumped at the chance.

The SecureLogix product knocked us out with its scalability, granular control, detailed reporting and top-flight customer service. Except for its steep price, we would have kept the system in a New York minute. If you can justify the cost (see "Calling ROI"), we recommend the ETM for all but the smallest organizations.
