SecureLogix Delivers Integrated Voice and Unified Communications Security on Cisco Voice Gateways to Enterprise Market

SecureLogix Corporation, leaders in unified communications (UC) security and intelligence, announced the availability of version 7.0 of its award-winning ETM^® System today. ETM System v7.0 integrates the company's voice/UC network security, fraud prevention, policy enforcement, and intelligence solutions with Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) and voice gateways for enterprise customers world-wide. A similar announcement from Cisco can be found at http://newsroom.cisco.com/press-release-content?type=webcontent&articleId=838176.

SecureLogix used the Cisco Unified Communications (UC) Gateway (News - Alert) Services API to integrate its applications with Cisco's enterprise-focused session border controller (SBC), Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE), and Cisco TDM Gateways. SecureLogix^® voice-policy applications can be run on Cisco UCS™ Express allowing SecureLogix solutions to sit directly on the Cisco ISR alongside the Cisco TDM gateway and/or Cisco CUBE, providing a single, multiservice SIP/VoIP/TDM trunking enablement solution. SecureLogix running on Cisco infrastructure eliminates the need for external voice security appliances. The integrated solution also helps customers lower their capital and operating expenses and offers environmental benefits by avoiding the need for overlay networks when deploying dedicated appliance-based SBCs, TDM gateways and related voice security platforms.

SecureLogix solutions outpace competitive offerings by providing application level voice policy management and ROI intelligence capabilities integrated at the network edge, such as:

• Voice policy-driven, real-time service use enforcement and call control to protect against voice fraud, toll theft, phone-based social engineering schemes/ID theft/account takeover fraud, TDoS (telephony denial of service) attacks, harassing/threatening calls, unauthorized voice line access into data network resources, voice service misuse and abuse, data leakage, voice protocol intrusion into data resources, and other voice network threats and restricted traffic, thus enhancing regulatory compliance and reducing financial losses and business disruption.
• Enterprise-wide voice/UC monitoring, reporting and analytics for improved utilization of voice/UC network resources, greater service uptime and performance, more intelligent network planning, reduced corporate expenses, and increased business productivity.

Several customers have already deployed the integrated solution, including a leading Health Care Provider in Indiana. "The policy-enabled SBC from SecureLogix and Csco is proving invaluable to us in support of our SIP trunking deployment in our enterprise," said Kevin Hartzburg, telecommunications manager for Community Health Network in Indianapolis. "The combination of CUBE with the SecureLogix voice policy applications, all hosted on the ISR platform, is a real home run. This policy-based SBC has helped enable our transition to SIP Trunking, while also providing a low-cost, elegant path to protect us from application-level voice threats and lower our expenses through rich voice ROI intelligence."

Redefining the Enterprise SBC and TDM Gateway

The integration of SecureLogix expands the capabilities and deepens the business value provided by a typical enterprise SBC or gateway. Increasing numbers of businesses today are exploring transitions from TDM to SIP trunking in order to reduce expenses and enhance their voice and UC services. Adoption of SIP trunking is enabled by SBC technologies that provide essential capabilities required by today's IP networks, including session management, security, interworking, and demarcation.

SecureLogix voice policy enforcement applications integrate with existing Cisco voice infrastructure without the need for another piece of dedicated external hardware, helping customers achieve application-level voice policy management and control capabilities with full SIP trunking enablement across the enterprise. With SecureLogix running on the Cisco ISR alongside Cisco CUBE or Cisco TDM gateway, customers can enjoy a unified policy enforcement capability across their entire TDM and SIP voice/UC environment from a single management interface. Further, the rich ROI intelligence provided through policy-based voice monitoring, reporting, and analytics typically provides a less than 12 month payback on the SecureLogix solution.

"No other SBC solution offers this full range of platform, network, and application level functionality to enable, manage, and secure SIP trunking deployments across the enterprise," said Joe O'Donnell, vice president of business development for SecureLogix.
