Telephone System Security

Toll Fraud is becoming increasingly widespread in the UK and is costing businesses around £1.5 million per year. Toll Fraud occurs when someone dials into your phone system and then uses your telephone line to route phone calls, often to internationals destinations, at your expense. This can go undetected until your telephone bill is received!

There are a number of ways in which you can minimise this threat to your business;

1. Be as vigilant as possible with the use of passwords ensuring that simple combinations are no used.
2. Improve call barring levels, for example how many extensions can dial international or premium rate numbers.
3. Invest in technology to protect your phone system.
