Avaya’s Single-Boxed Solution Addressing Security Issues In SIP Networks
To benefit from the latest communication and collaboration solutions, businesses are increasingly turning to SIP-based networks.
Whether it’s to lower costs using IP telephony or to take advantage of the latest multimedia messaging, conferencing and unified communications (UC) applications, SIP is emerging as the industry standard.
SIP Trunk Security
SIP trunks can present a security challenge, there is vulnerability at the point where the SIP trunk connects to the public network which can leave a business exposed to hacker attacks including spoofing, call hijacking, eavesdropping and toll fraud. In addition to potential damage to business operations, privacy and security mandates such as those for credit and health information (e.g., PCI and HIPAA) require that these vulnerabilities be addressed, imposing significant financial and legal penalties for non-compliance.
