“It is an honor for a dedicated Unified Communications security company like Sipera Systems to be recognized for providing value to the overall UC solution. The Sipera IPCS appliances help enterprises to realize the cost savings, business continuity advantages, and productivity improvements of UC by ensuring the privacy of communications, authentication of the end-points, enforcing policies and protecting the network and devices from attack,” said Eric Winsborrow, Chief Marketing Officer for Sipera. “As customers extend their VoIP network, it is reassuring that the industry recognizes the value of a company that is 100 percent focused on real-time security.”

“Sipera has proven it is committed to quality and excellence, while addressing real needs in the marketplace.  Unified Communications is pleased to grant a 2007 Product of the Year Award for the Sipera IPCS 410/510,” said Rich Tehrani, TMC President and Editor-in-Chief of Unified Communications magazine.  “We’re proud to honor Sipera’s hard work and accomplishments, and look forward to more innovative solutions in the future.”

To provide comprehensive protection in real-time, the Sipera IPCS 410/510 products offer unified communications (UC) threat prevention using a variety of sophisticated VoIP-specific security techniques including anomaly detection, protocol scrubbing, behavior learning and fingerprint verification. These appliances also incorporate UC policy compliance functionality, which enforces granular security polices to all UC traffic, based on user, device, network and time of day, and ensures secure UC access, to guarantee the privacy and authentication of all UC traffic to the enterprise and handle session border control issues, such as firewall/NAT traversal, in a single security device.
