VoIP security technology provider Sipera Systems of Richardson, Texas, announced Monday expansion of its IP communications security solutions to more environments.

 

The company’s IPCS 310 will now offer 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.

 

Sipera first introduced the IPCS 310 back in March. The system monitors VoIP traffic, detects anomalies in call traffic patterns, and identifies threats to protect end-user devices and network infrastructures for enterprises with up to 1000 users.

 

Sipera revealed back then that Goldsmith-Agio-Helms—a private investment banking firm with offices in Minneapolis, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and London—currently uses Sipera's IPCS 310 system for IM logging, VoIP and Video conferencing.

 

The new upgrades features include multiple-protocol support to protect VoIP assets in mixed protocol environments; border control to enable the deployment of SIP trunks and voice extranets, as well as extend VoIP infrastructure to mobile users; expanded IM protection for SPIM and IM spoofing to protect internal and external IM communications; IM logging functionality; and additional media protection to prevent threats that may be launched through the media channel after a VoIP connection has been established.

 

“Giving customers choices and flexibility is particularly important as new technology is integrated into existing enterprises,” said Sipera’s president and CEO, Seshu Madhavapeddy, in a statement. “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.”  

 

Madhavapeddy continued: “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.”
