Abstract: The invention relates to an device and method for securing a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) terminal with a telephone security (TSD) device having a terminal I/O component that interfaces with a VoIP terminal, a firewall component that watches a communication session, and a network I/O component that interfaces with a network. The method provides for the TSD to watch the communication session with the VoIP terminal. The TSD determines if the communication session has ended or has been initiated. The method enables the TSD to close a plurality of ports when the communication session with the VoIP terminal has ended. The TSD permits communications with the VoIP terminal when the communication session has been initiated.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and method for evaluating security threats from information available on the Internet or an Intranet. The method comprises gathering information from the Internet or an Intranet using at least one analyst defined parameter. The method then proceeds to generate a visual display of the gathered information. After generating the visual display of the information, the method provides a plurality of software tools for analyzing the visual display and the gathered information to identify a potential security threat. The method then generates an automated report based on the gathered information, the visual display, and the security threat analysis.
