Virtualize Your SBC and Secure the Remote Working Environment

VoIP Supply teamed up with Sangoma and SYSTM to demonstrate how to virtualize a session border controller (SBC) and make your communication system secure! 

Why Session Border Controllers (SBCs)?

I already have firewalls installed, is that not enough? Here are some facts about firewalls:

• They were never designed for VoIP traffic
• The inherent function is to Deny All unsolicited traffic
• They do not understand SIP protocol and routing needs
• Audio media requires separate negotiation
• They are not set up for real time communication
• More facts in the presentation slides

Check out some Sangoma SBC Features:

• Security:
  •  Protect from denial of service attacks (DoS or DDoS), fuzzing, and toll fraud
  •  ACLs
  •  SIP Protocol Filtering and Rate Limiting
  •  SIP Protocol IDS/IPS
• Encryption: Prevent eavesdropping and authenticate the call end points
• Registration Policy: Prevent unregistered end points from getting access to your VoIP service
• Call Routing:  Provide dynamic routing – LCR & Load Balancing
• SIP Conversion:  Interoperability: Allow SIP-based equipment from different vendors to interconnect
• Media Transcoding:  Generate the best quality of service the connection can provide, from HD Voice quality to small bandwidth optimized codecs
• Scalability:  Respond to increasing demand on your VoIP services
