The telephony system is a business-critical, system, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to all companies. Such critical environments must be as secure as possible to avoid breakdowns related to failures in the system or attacks involving the network. The Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Operating System is the base of Cisco CallManager 3.X and 4.X versions. This chapter discusses options for hardening and securing the Cisco CallManager operating system and gives students an overview of possible vulnerabilities and of practices for tightening security in the Cisco IP Telephony Operating System.
Note
Cisco Unified CallManager 5.X versions use Red Hat Linux as a base operating system. This operating system is inaccessible as the 5.X versions of CallManager run as an appliance.
