Official answer about Alcatel PBX testing

[jean-pierre.kellermann () alcatel fr]

Hell all

Thanks Luis Lopez for mentioning this major evolution in Alcatel product line of large PBX which happened in 2003 with 
the release of the successor to the 4400: the OmniPCX Enterprise IP-PBX running on the Linux kernel. At that time a 
major effort has been made on security aspects with a lot of hardening being performed on the operating system (Linux), 
the run-time environment and offered services, selection and configuration of applications running on this platform.

Alcatel strongly recommands to upgrade the old version of PABX4400 to IP-PBX OXE to benefit the last features and  the 
customer will have a VoIP solution which will give satisfaction to his security needs.                                  
                                         

End 2005 Alcatel's voice solution OmniPCX Enterprise underwent testing performed by MIERCOM which is a privately held 
network consultancy, specializing in networking and communications-related product testing and analysis. The security 
efforts Alcatel made over many years on this solution have been rewarded  by Miercom which recognized the Alcatel 
IP-PXB as the most secured PBX for the Enterprise in 2006. You will find at this URL 
(http://www.miercom.com/?url=reports/&v=3&PHPSESSID=954bed267ed09807bb3703149e2ceb43) the security report written by 
Miercom.

Alcatel is constantly evaluating and refining its security strategy regarding all the solutions provided by ESD, 
Alcatel has also established security internal processes for Proactive awareness : education, design practices, tests 
and for Improved reactivity when facing security alerts.
