Mind the Security Gap': Sipera Systems Showcases Anti-Toll Fraud, Secure Voice-over-IP, Safe SIP Trunk Solutions at Infosecurity Europe 2011


- Highlighting Groundbreaking VoIP & Unified Communications Security Solutions with Partners Datapoint, Gamma Telecom, and Redscan

Sipera Systems, the leader in real-time Unified Communications (UC) enablement and security, today announced it will be showcasing Voice-over-IP (VoIP) security, smartphone security and "safe SIP trunk" solutions at the Infosecurity Europe 2011 conference in London today through Thursday. Product demonstrations and presentations will be held in Sipera stand H50, alongside partners Datapoint, Gamma Telecom, and Redscan.

Security managers everywhere are dealing with the emergence of VoIP, video, collaboration and other new applications with new security requirements in the IT environment. Enterprises also face new communications devices such as smartphones and tablets and new communications deployments such as business telephony over the Internet. This host of security changes is the new "Security Gap" that will be highlighted by Sipera and its partners at Infosecurity Europe, along with strategies and solutions to help security managers to "Mind the Security Gap."

Sipera's award-winning security and SIP trunking appliances simplify and accelerate the adoption of advanced, IP-based business communications by providing essential security functions for these new applications. With Sipera solutions, customers around the world are:

- Migrating to VoIP and Unified Communications while maintaining the required confidentiality, integrity and availability of business communications.
- Minimizing security risks and blocking toll fraud and premium rate fraud, two increasingly common VoIP security issues that cause billions in annual losses.
- Ensuring VoIP and other new applications are compliant with privacy and archiving rules, such as PCI DSS for credit card security.
- Incorporating full visibility and security control over VoIP, IP video conferencing, instant messaging, collaboration tools and many other real-time applications.

In addition, Sipera's VIPER Lab Director Jason Ostrom will present "Field Notes on Enterprise VoIP and UC Application Security and Vulnerabilities," today at 4:00 p.m. He will review security assessments performed for major enterprises using UC business applications. Attendees will also learn about real-world UC vulnerabilities and risks, security best practices and mitigation strategies.

"Network and business communication applications have been rapidly evolving over recent years. Security solutions have to evolve as well, to keep pace with the new voice, video and collaboration applications and the end user devices such as smartphones, tablets and soft clients that utilize them," said Adam Boone, Vice President of Marketing & Product Management at Sipera. "Sipera's extensive product family and partner network ensure that the security architecture is up to the challenge of securing and controlling these new applications and devices. Now a security manager can constantly monitor and manage the security posture of these critical communications, and proactively block related threats that put corporate information security in jeopardy."

Among the Sipera solutions being highlighted at Infosecurity:

- Sipera's E-SBC is the first SBC designed from the ground up with the SIP trunk termination needs and requirements of small companies and enterprises in mind. Scaling from 20 to 10,000 concurrent sessions, the E-SBC is available for as little as 10 percent of the cost of the market-leading carrier-focused SBCs. Unlike repackaged telecommunications carrier products, E-SBC enables enterprises to terminate SIP trunks without the complexities or costs associated with traditional SBCs.
- Sipera will also feature the new promotion of Gamma's SIP trunking services with Sipera's UC security and SBC solutions, which will be highlighted at the Wick Hill stand.
- Sipera UC-Sec appliances provide comprehensive VoIP and UC security that enables enterprises to simply and confidently deploy VoIP and Unified Communications over any network, to any device, including VoIP phones, smartphones, tablets, soft-clients, video phones and others. The comprehensive, plug-and-play security platform delivers the industry's most advanced protection against toll fraud, intrusion, unauthorized access, eavesdropping, and other UC vulnerabilities.
