AGN to Integrate Sipera's VoIP Security Platform into OnDemand SIP(TM) Solution; Offering Delivers Standards Based SRTP and TLS Support
RICHARDSON, Texas, March 6 // -- AGN Networks, a leading business-centric Internet Telephony Service Provider, and Sipera Systems, the leader in pure security for VoIP, mobile and multimedia communications, today announced the formation of a ground-breaking partnership to offer secure Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunking for AGN's IP telephony deployments.
The AGN Sipera partnership represents a powerful new dynamic in VoIP services and will enable AGN to integrate the Sipera IPCS product into its OnDemand SIP(TM) offering. The innovative secure SIP trunking solution utilizes next generation Secure Real-Time Protocol (SRTP) and Transport Layer Security (TLS), combining SIP trunking and real-time, end-to-end secure communications from service providers to end customers.
The partnership demonstrates Sipera's leadership in VoIP security and further recognizes AGN's reputation as a pioneer in the Internet telephony industry as one of the first VoIP services providers to support and deploy a secure SIP trunking platform.
AGN's signature SIP services give businesses of all sizes the ability to take advantage of the enhanced capabilities inherent to intelligent IP communications. OnDemand SIP combines ease of deployment and provisioning along with fail-over capabilities for business continuity and dramatic reductions in communication expenses. With secure SIP trunking from AGN, customers now receive the added benefit of Sipera's comprehensive VoIP security products to protect, control and manage real-time unified communications.
"As an Internet Telephony Service Provider, it is critical to offer clients enhancements in securing VoIP communications. Capabilities like secure SIP Trunking will only further accelerate the adoption of advanced and cost-cutting services like IP trunking," said Albert Rodriguez, President of AGN Networks. "The partnership with Sipera gives our customers a comprehensive VoIP solution, complete with the tools to protect against potential risks like Denial of Service, network eavesdropping and call manipulation. With our new secure SIP trunking feature, AGN is enabling customers to seamlessly launch a secure VoIP system as a single deployment," said Rodriguez.
The Sipera VoIP security platform supports VoIP VPN capabilities for encrypted signaling, encrypted media, strong two-factor authentication, and VoIP Firewall/SBC functionality to enable enterprises to solve firewall/NAT issues and apply granular unified communications policies based upon network, user, device and time of day. All Sipera IPCS products also offer VoIP Intrusion Prevention and Anti-spam functionality that intelligently analyzes every VoIP call and other unified communications sessions in order to proactively monitor and detect anomalies. This ensures network and user protection from attacks, misuse and service abuse including DoS/DDoS floods, fuzzing, stealth and VoIP spam, in real-time.
"Enterprises are looking to service providers to offer SIP trunks and other hosted VoIP services for cost-savings and other business benefits," said Seshu Madhavapeddy, president and CEO of Sipera Systems. "However, an enterprise will not compromise its security to realize these efficiencies. AGN recognized this early on and came to Sipera, as the leader in VoIP security, to address these issues and protect AGN's OnDemand SIP in a comprehensive, real-time manner."
