Getting rid of security hang-ups once and for all.
As corporations computerize more of their activities, external phone lines and modems are used with increasing frequency to link internal computers with external computing resources. Large organizations employ hundreds of dial-up lines for voice communication with customers, clients, suppliers, and employees. While useful, these external phone links often represent an undocumented back door into the corporate information network.

Phone Line Scanning identifies undocumented or uncontrolled modems that connect your computer directly to the external telephone network. Since these phone lines and modems may represent security holes in your organization's security perimeter, their discovery and control is vitally important.

It gives you the tight control you need.
A phone line scan gives you the utmost control over phone-line based entry points, and your information systems perimeter. It may even help reduce your telephone service costs. Venture Phone Line Scanning will also help improve information perimeter controls, effectively reducing risk and allowing you to conduct business operations with increased confidence in your system's ability to protect valuable data, resources, and reputation.

Getting a line on every possible source.
Venture and its skilled security professional partners will scan all of your external phone lines by automatically dialing every known relevant phone number and checking for modem responses. When a modem is detected, our consultants attempt to establish a connection, identify the type of system present, and gather information relating to exploitation of the detected system. In instances where a serious deficiency in security or unrestricted network access is detected, we'll immediately pass that information on to your company through our designated contact.

Verified results you can count on, and act on.
Venture will deliver an Analysis Report that contains an executive security overview, identification of undocumented dial-up entry points, and an assessment of the vulnerabilities of each entry point identified. The report will be delivered in a bound hard copy and in electronic form on diskette in Microsoft Word™-compatible format.
