A new post on the TelcoDepot.com blog has shed light on the threat of TDoS attacks to businesses, and highlighted steps businesses can take to prevent and recover from such attacks.
Bay Shore, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/01/2013 -- Business phone systems are rendered unreachable during a TDoS (telephony denial of service) attack – a fact that has been illustrated in a new post by phone experts TelcoDepot.com.
The post on the TelcoDepot.com blog went on to describe exactly what happens during a TDoS attack, especially from the perspective of what businesses might lose during such an attack. Advice was also offered on how businesses can mitigate such attacks in the first place, and how best to recover after the fact.
Readers will learn that it is possible for ‘cyber-criminals’ to instantaneously bombard their public telephone lines with bogus calls, rendering those phone lines unreachable to genuine callers. Also revealed is the loss that can result from such attacks if they are to occur – especially damage to business processes, financial transactions, and a business’ corporate image.
Titled “Beware of TDoS Attacks on Your Corporate VoIP Network”, the post recommends that businesses with VoIP phone systems take steps such as deploying firewalls on their corporate phone network and using dynamic network designs to limit the likelihood of TDoS attacks on their network.
The post also urged businesses to invest in active social media accounts and emergency phone lines not disclosed to the public as part of contingency plans to provide an intervention during the recovery stage after a TDoS attack might have occurred.
TelcoDepot.com CEO Yaron Ram on the post:
“Though unlikely, TDoS attacks pose a serious threat to business operations.
