VoIP Threat Advisories by Sipera VIPER Lab

Since its inception, Sipera VIPER Lab has identified thousands of potential security threats and vulnerabilities. As the details of these are discovered, the research is published as Generic Threat Advisories, which could affect numerous systems, or as Specific Threat Advisories which affect a specific device or infrastructure node. Threat Advisories are issued on an ongoing basis as a service to Sipera's customers and the general public.

Sipera VIPER Lab follows a disclosure policy which notifies equipment vendors, in advance, of Specific Threat Advisories and works with each of these vendors to publish a response, fix the vulnerability and/or identify other solutions to these security issues.
