Sipera IPCS 310 Supports More VoIP Protocols and Offers Additional IM and Media Protection
RICHARDSON, Texas, Aug. 21 // -- Sipera Systems, the leader in pure security for VoIP, mobile and multimedia communications, today announced new functionality for the award-winning Sipera IPCS 310. This upgrade extends Sipera's protection of VoIP and IM to more environments, allowing enterprises, especially in the financial services and healthcare industries, to secure legacy systems and additional IP communications applications against attacks, misuse, and service abuse.
New functionality for the Sipera IPCS 310 includes:
o Multiple-protocol support which protects all VoIP assets in mixed protocol environments; o Border control features that enable enterprises to deploy SIP trunks and voice extranets, and extend VoIP infrastructure to road warriors and telecommuters with the same signaling and media protection as internal IP PBX deployments. This functionality is crucial to address the network address translation (NAT) and firewall issues enterprises face with external VoIP deployments; o Expanded IM protection for IM spam (SPIM) and IM spoofing to protect internal and external IM communications. In addition to the existing IM logging functionality, this is especially applicable to the healthcare industry for HIPAA-compliant patient information, and financial services companies for corporate compliance of electronic communications; and o Additional media protection to prevent threats that may be launched through the media channel after a VoIP connection has been successfully established.
"Giving customers choices and flexibility is particularly important as new technology is integrated into existing enterprises. For enterprises of all sizes and configurations, comprehensive network-level and end-user security is a prerequisite to deploying today's growing suite of collaborative VoIP, IM and other IP communications applications," said Seshu Madhavapeddy, Sipera president and CEO. "With these new features, the Sipera IPCS 310 allows enterprises to efficiently take advantage of today's real-time, IP communication applications without compromising the network's security requirements."
According to Jeff Graham, CTO, Shared Technologies, the need for a first line of defense for real-time communications is critical. "VoIP, IM and other IP communications are part of today's IT fabric, but most deployments include a collection of applications that may involve multiple protocols. It's crucial for our customers that we implement a single comprehensive solution that address the issues with these various deployment scenarios and protects the network against attacks and service abuse. The new Sipera IPCS 310 definitively provides us with a solution to deliver comprehensive IP communications security."
This new functionality for the Sipera IPCS 310 is available this quarter. For further information, visit http://www.sipera.com/ or email salesinfo@sipera.com.
