Sipera Systems™ Security Product Selected for Ipitomi’s UC Solution

Sipera’s Real-Time Security Solutions Ensure Ipitomi's Small Office / Home Office (SoHo) Customers Can Securely Access Ipitomi’s Leading IP Telephony Services

London, December 04, 2008 – Sipera Systems, the leader in real-time Unified Communications (UC) security, today announced Ipitomi, a leading provider of technology and telecoms services operating in the UK and Europe, has adopted Sipera IPCS solutions for enabling and securing its SoHo service offering.  By doing so, Ipitomi comprehensively enables and secures its state-of-the-art Cisco-based IP Telephony service, ensuring maximum uptime of its advanced communications solutions for small office and home worker customers.

“Our goal is to meet our customer’s communications needs in the most efficient and reliable manner by adding value, reducing costs and offering a fast and simple way to deploy IP Telephony,” said Karen McCoun, Product, Development and Operations Director at Ipitomi.  “In addition, we provide the security required through Sipera’s IPCS solutions, which ensure our SoHo customers are protected from VoIP vulnerabilities and attacks at home, in the office and on the road.”

The Ipitomi SoHo solution allows customers to connect up to 24 handsets through any internet connection, securely using the Internet to make and receive phone calls, enjoying all of the features of Ipitomi’s IP Telephony Services. One of the advanced features of this communications solution is Single Number Reach, providing one telephone number to simultaneously ring a customer’s landline and alternative phone numbers.  This further increases worker productivity, by ensuring end-users can be contacted regardless of their location.

“As companies extend their IP Telephony and UC services beyond the enterprise secure perimeter, they open their networks to potential vulnerabilities including flooding, fuzzing, spoofing, denial of service and spam,” said Paul German, Vice President , EMEA Sales for Sipera Systems.  “Sipera’s  security solution gives Ipitomi the ability to enable and secure such solutions and provide its customers with the security assurance, threat protection, policy enforcement, access control and privacy features of the Sipera IPCS whilst using VoIP to access their IP Telephony services; these features ensure that the security risks are mitigated when deploying IP Telephony and other Unified Communications.”

The Sipera IPCS products are comprehensive, real-time Unified Communications security solutions that simplify and protect Ipitomi’s UC over any network and to any device. Backed by the extensive vulnerability research of Sipera VIPER Lab, the Sipera IPCS™ products provide threat protection, policy enforcement, access control and privacy in a single, real-time appliance.  The product family spans four systems supporting 200 to 50,000 users.
