The client is a public university with a multi-building campus environment and associated distributed telecom network and infrastructure. SecureLogix staff collected the data set for a report during a 78-day product evaluation covering all client's telecom circuits. Due to the limited time horizon, the evaluation focused only on a subset of all possible ROI and security enhancement benefits that might ultimately be derived from enterprise-wide deployment and day-to-day, customized and expanded use of the ETM System. It was found that the 224,487 inbound modem calls were cause for extreme concern; as each represented a potential external hacker connection into the university's data network, voice system or other critical infrastructure via unsecured phone lines and modems inside the enterprise.
