Product Name	Description
ABSecure ModemSwitcher (ABSecure)	A "virtual airlock" that isolates and protects your LAN while your workstation or other workstations of your LAN are connected to the Internet by modem. When a user establishes a modem connection, ABSecure's ModemSwitcher detects it automatically and isolates the workstation from the local network. When the user terminates the Internet connection, ABSecure's ModemSwitcher re-enables automatically the local connections. All the process is tranparent to the user. With ABSecure's ModemSwitcher, an enterprise administrator can enforce a security policy requiring that no machine on the network is able to be connected both to the LAN and to the Internet at the same time. Moreover, with ABSecure's ModemSwitcher, all the modems that are not allowed throughout the enterprise become ineffective. ABSecure's ModemSwitcher protects your network from "bouncing" attacks. A bouncing attack consists in hacking a workstation connected to the Internet by dial-up, and from there to gain access to the rest of the internal corporate network. ABSecure's ModemSwitcher protects your LAN from this type of attack, because when a user is connected by dial-up, he does not have access to the LAN any more, until the modem connection is dropped.
Caller ID Programmer (Computer Peripheral Systems)	A general purpose Caller ID programmer. It provides the tools that allow you to configure your phone system to meet your personal requirements. It can be used to screen calls and assign specific actions to selective CID numbers or bulk numbers. It can also auto dial any number from its database and block outbound calls based on one or a variable number of prefix numbers. The CID2x operates with any standard Caller ID service, but is most applicable to the CID services that also provide the caller's name.
Challenger P2 (Computer Peripheral Systems)	A field programmable hardware authentication system for dial modem security. It operates on a LOCK and KEY principle similar to Locks and Keys in the home or office. Two nodes are required for a minimum system, but a system can accommodate as many nodes as are necessary. The P2s are completely independent of the hardware and software. They can operate with PCs or MACs with internal or external modems or even with fax machines or any analog equipment for that matter.
Challenger P2 BAS (Computer Peripheral Systems)	Primarily designed to provide absolute authentication type of security for remote dial-line maintenance applications. However it may also be used in any application where secure groups of modems may also require a Master Level of access. It allows the subject equipment to be securely accessed by its own group of users as well as by the manufacturer or third party maintenance firm through a "Master Key" that has access to all of the secure user groups.
Challenger TLC (Computer Peripheral Systems)	Challenges all inbound calls for the proper means of identification from the caller. It provides three levels of security: The CHALLENGER HARDWARE KEYS provide the quickest and highest level of security. The Keys are small match box sized devices that connect to the callers modems with standard RJ-11 type connections. Unauthorized calls that fail to meet challenge/response are aborted in less than one half second and are not recognized as modem answered calls by hackers. The customer can program a separate user ID number into each Key, which can be used for further audit purposes, if required. The CALLER ID security option matches the inbound Caller ID number against a database of authorized numbers prior to allowing the ring through. The database is entered from the PC. It can accommodate up to 50 valid Caller ID numbers. An expanded version is also available. The DTMF touch-tone security method monitors the first 10 seconds of each call for the presence of the proper touch-tone commands.
Enforcer (Computer Peripheral Systems)	Disconnects the LAN connection when modems are in use. Requires positive intervention to restore the LAN Connection.
Lucent Remote Port Security Device (Lucent Technologies)	A single line dial-up port protection system that prevents unauthorized access to a host resource. Host resource dial-up ports, called "subscribers," are protected by the installation of the RPSD Lock hardware unit on the analog interface channel leading to the subscriber port. Access is provided only when the calling party uses the RPSD Key, a hardware unit installed on the analog interface channel on the calling party end. The RPSD system provides security and control for virtually any type of dial-up port on any host resource, regardless of the type of modem associated with the host’s dial-up ports. This document specifically targets LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES Business Communications Systems customers and users the DEFINITY Communication System, System 85, System 75 PBXs, DIMENSION® PBX, and supporting peripheral products, for which reason most references in this document are specific to Business Communications Systems. However, this should not be understood as restricting other applications of the RPSD system.
Mini Firewall (Computer Peripheral Systems)	An external hardware security device that is designed to eliminate the possibility of using inbound or outbound dial modem connections to gain access to the corporate LAN. With the Basic Mini Firewall installed, the connection to the LAN is disabled while the modem session is in progress. This eliminates the possibility of causing LAN damage or security breaches via unscrupulous Internet connections. The LAN connection is automatically re-established when the modem call is completed. The Basic Mini Firewall is quite simple, easy to use, and highly effective. It uses relays to physically disconnect the LAN connection when the modem is in use. When the modem call is completed, the network connection is again automatically restored.
Port Authority 44 (Communcation Devices)	Connects directly to up to eight console ports and provides the highest level of protection regardless of the state of the network. This is done by maintaining an internal security database that is updated by a central database on an “as needed” basis. This internal database provides fast, reliable, two factor authentication every time a technician accesses the router. By using switching to connect one modem to eight routers, The Port Authority saves line and equipment cost continually.

Private Call Director (Computer Peripheral Systems)	Allows you, the "called party", to route inbound calls to selective ports, or abort them. The action is based on the Caller ID of the inbound call. The PCD combines features of a fax server, mail box, PBX, or a call director. It operates with any standard analog telephone equipment; such as voice sets, faxes, modems, answering machines, call announcers, CPS's Modem Router Switch, fax buffer, etc.
Selective Access System (Computer Peripheral Systems)	Provides controlled selective dial access to multiple systems. Use with current password systems for "two factor" authentication.
Standard Challenger (Computer Peripheral Systems)	Hardware security system for dial modem or fax authentication.
TeleSweep Secure (SecureLogix)	Security-scanning tool designed for the enterprise, providing visibility into telephone networks by identifying modem, fax or voice and characterizing security posture to determine vulnerabilities. Enterprises are then able to prioritize security efforts to secure or remove modems eliminating unauthorized points of entry into their private data networks.
TeleWall (SecureLogix)	Firewall for telephone lines, protects data networks by securing telephone networks. Client software can be installed on any desktop in the enterprise providing quick access to data and control over sensors and policies. Servers software can be configured locally or remotely using the client software. Servers are capable of managing enterprise-wide deployments of sensors. Appliances are available in T1, ISDN-PRI and 12-line analog interfaces. Appliances can be added, moved or removed with rack mount simplicity and easy appliance management.
