Free Webinar Series:
Defining Unified Communications Security
Enterprises are looking to realize the benefits, such as cost savings, business continuity and mobility, which voice over IP (VoIP) promised years ago. To do this, enterprises need to extend their VoIP infrastructure and deploy unified communications (UC) over untrusted networks. But extending the VoIP infrastructure makes it an easy target for tampering that could cause denial of service (DoS) attacks or result in the hijacking of legitimate IP phones for theft of service.
In addition to protecting the infrastructure and phone, there are additional issues that
must be addressed, including:
- Policy enforcement of granular security and call routing rules
- Strong authentication of device & user for access control
- Privacy of signaling & media
- Other issues such as firewall/NAT traversal, phone configuration, media anchoring, etc.
While many products claim to offer VoIP and UC security, in addition to their other responsibilities, it is a big challenge, if not impossible, to achieve and maintain usable quality of service (QoS) in UC deployments while offering comprehensive UC security functionality. As UC becomes more prevalent and feature-rich, the need for a real-time UC security solution becomes obvious.
In this webinar series you will learn about:
- unique threats that target the enterprise UC networks
- recent VoIP vulnerability research and insights
- UC security best practices and the data security ones needed
- shortcomings of existing data security products in satisfying all best practices and
- requirements for a comprehensive, real-time UC security solution
This webinar series should be attended by CIO/CSOs, Directors/Managers of IT or Telecom, and any telephony or IT decision makers in enterprises looking to expand their UC and VoIP deployments.
This three-part Defining UC Security webinar series will look at the following topics: |
