Well in that case you have a definite edge.
Using the cisco acs along with cisco works
to configure appropriate network management 
you can almost catch him in the act.

good luck

I use Cisco Secure ACS, which is great because It logs all attempts to hack 
into the router whether successful or failed one's, you can apply it to 
Asyncs, VTY, and console ports, but be careful, do not lock you self out of 
the router with TACACS+.
