VoIP Security Rating Scale

This is the rating system the tests of Cisco and Avaya systems. The overall rating was the maximum impact that the assault team could achieve.

• Secure: No perceptible disruption to voice service.
• Resistant: Only minor and/or temporary disturbance(s).
• Vulnerable: Phone service affecting many phone users could be disrupted for a protracted period, via a sophisticated or coordinated attack.
• Open: Phone service affecting most phone users could be significantly disrupted indefinitely, via a fairly straightforward assault.
• Unsecure: Phone system or service affecting all users could be readily and indefinitely disabled.
