Everything old is new again. While discussing overlooked security threats to the organization, don't forget to mention modems. Nearly every new PC shipped includes a modem, yet the security emphasis is on the threat du jour: war-driving, bluejacking, or inadequate mobile security, for example. At Sandstorm Enterprises, the company understands that phones and modems are both a vital part of the business infrastructure and a potential avenue of attack. Sandstorm Enterprises makes PhoneSweep, a telephone system security audit tool that searches for and identifies modems, fax machines, and other devices attached to telephone lines. PhoneSweep can identify security risks such as unsecured modems and potential vulnerability to toll fraud.
