Real-Time Security Solutions Deploy Seamlessly with SIP Trunk Providers, Ease Avaya Teleworker and Mobility Deployments RICHARDSON, Texas, June 24
RICHARDSON, Texas, June 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Sipera Systems, the leader in
real-time Unified Communications (UC) security, today announced its Sipera
IPCS(TM) security appliances have been upgraded to advance security for SIP
trunking and better integrate with SIP trunk provider services. The Sipera
VIPER Engine, the core security engine for Sipera IPCS appliances, has
likewise been upgraded to more quickly address the latest vulnerabilities and
threats, adding the capability to download security signatures automatically,
and enhanced anomaly detection capabilities against zero day attacks. And,
for enterprises adopting Avaya teleworker and mobile solutions, enhanced IPCS
functionality allows them to simply and securely deploy mobile workspaces.
For enterprises utilizing SIP trunks to connect to their service
providers, Sipera not only offers comprehensive security for these SIP trunks,
but also addresses key deployment issues by offering additional Session Border
Control (SBC) functionality. The upgraded Sipera IPCS appliances have been
integrated with Tier-1 SIP trunk providers, and offer Quality of Service (QoS)
reporting, enabling network administrators to monitor latency, jitter and
packet delay for critical UC applications, and identify bandwidth spikes that
might indicate an attack or other anomalies.
"Many enterprises today are embracing Unified Communications because they
see it playing a key role in increasing the productivity of their
organization. What some overlook, however, are the security issues that arise
any time an enterprise application is connected to the Internet," said
Matthias Machowinski, Infonetics Research Directing Analyst, Enterprise Voice
& Data. "In order to realize the benefits of UC without increasing security
risks, enterprises need to add security to their infrastructure that protects
against threats in real-time."
"As companies extend Unified Communications beyond the enterprise
perimeter to allow SIP trunking and mobility solutions, they require
sophisticated and comprehensive security from a dedicated UC security
provider," said Eric Winsborrow, Chief Marketing Officer for Sipera Systems.
"Sipera's comprehensive UC security provides threat protection, policy
enforcement, access control, and privacy measures, along with the ability to
simplify the deployment of SIP trunks and mobile workspaces. Sipera IPCS
threat protection is backed by the expertise of and ongoing signature updates
from Sipera VIPER Lab to ensure complete protection in real-time."
New Sipera IPCS functionality to simplify the deployment of Avaya
teleworker and mobile solutions include:
-- Certificate provisioning proxy for improved access control;
-- HTTP/TFTP proxy for web services and configuration, and LDAP proxy for
directory services, for faster and easier deployment of remote phones;
-- TLS/SRTP proxy for encryption, further ensuring communications privacy;
and
-- Network, device, user, domain, and time of day granular policy
enforcement.
