IP Communications Security for Service Providers

Implementing IP communications capabilities is ideal for service providers, who are constantly looking at new technologies that can increase the efficiency of their network, reduce costs or allow them to offer new services. SIP, IMS and UMA technologies will allow operators to offer real-time IP communications applications, such as VoIP, IM, video, presence and other collaboration applications, as hosted services targeted at enterprises or as new multimedia services for subscribers.

However, extending these service offerings over the Internet makes the core infrastructure and subscribers vulnerable to attacks and service abuse from malicious users, infected devices or hackers, and a new level of security is required. Encryption and authentication, which many advertise as security, only scratch the surface of the required protection for IP communications.

Service providers need a pure security device as the first line of defense to protect the subscribers and infrastructure nodes against application-layer attacks. Layering security using the Sipera solution for IP communications allows service providers to cost-effectively provide this first line of defense.
