ABSTRACT:
A security system (150) in a network includes a softswitch (440) and a detection unit (420). The detection unit (420) detects activity directed to the softswitch (440) and records the detected activity. In another implementation, a method for configuring a security device (150) for use in a network includes installing a detection unit (420) to monitor and record traffic directed to the security device (150), installing a deceptive operating system (430), installing a softswitch (440), and configuring the deceptive operating system (430) and softswitch (440) to mirror settings used in an active softswitch (140) in the network.
