Secure SIP Trunking: What You Need to Know
SIP trunking is a new application offered by many service providers that rapidly reduces costs by eliminating the need for an enterprise PSTN gateway, unused BRI/PRI capacity, expensive and underutilized phone lines or trunks at remote offices, and by providing PSTN termination in the local area. SIP trunks connect SIP users with those still using traditional telephony, bridging the gap between IP communications and the PSTN.
With the right security in place, the benefits of SIP can be realized without concern for loss of control or malicious attacks from unauthorized individuals. Join Ingate Systems and the VoIP Security Alliance (VOIPSA) for this free educational Webinar, where you’ll learn which security measures work – and which are just hype -- when deploying SIP trunks in the enterprise.
What You’ll Learn:
- Security misconceptions, challenges and requirements
- VoIP vs. PSTN: How SIP Trunks and VoIP can be more secure than traditional telephony
- The security measures you need; and those you don’t
- The basics of enterprise security and VoIP: SRTP, TLS and NAT traversal
- New security technologies
- Future-proofing your network for new security threats
After the presentation, the Webinar will be open for a live Q&A. Be sure to have your questions ready! |
