SIP Security
Connecting a VoIP system to the internet provides an organization with significant benefits, but also exposes it to new risks.
Traditional firewalls, including SIP aware firewalls, do not adequately address well documented VoIP specific threats such as call flooding, toll fraud, call disruption, VoIP spam, and denial of service attacks. Moreover, configuring a firewall to handle VoIP requires changes to the firewall's configuration to open a number of network ports. This introduces the real risk that the firewall's ability to protect other applications from attack will be compromised.
In addition, data firewalls often impact the performance of SIP traffic which leads to quality of service issues such as jitter and delay. The UM Labs SIP Security Controller delivers firewall grade IP level security optimized for SIP protocol and VoIP.
