VoIP Security
Multi-Layer Threat Protection
As VoIP technology is more widely deployed, securing both the overall network and the VoIP call flow within it becomes more difficult. Kayote's suite of security features provides companies with the most advanced protection for their call flow.
Vulnerabilities Associated with VoIP
The security issues touching VoIP are complex and multifaceted since the intersection of data and telephony exposes the vulnerabilities associated with both these domains. To prevent attacks from crippling their IP telephony systems, companies must invest large sums of money and time to adequately protect their networks with security devices and software.
As VoIP technology is more widely deployed, securing both the overall network and the VoIP call flow within it becomes more difficult. Businesses trying to manage their own infrastructure normally don't have the detailed level of understanding or time required to choose and configure security parameters for each aspect of their VoIP network.
Maintaining compatibility between multiple security components presents a further headache. As they are faced with new challenges, operators are unable to fully guarantee that all data entering and leaving their networks is threat-free.Kayote Networks Multi-Level Security
Kayote Networks is an expert in VoIP interconnectivity technology and a developer of advanced IP communication services. Our carrier grade and field proven architecture provides the most comprehensive VoIP security strategy currently available. Kayote's security solutions simultaneously address security threats in different domains and on many levels to ensure a safe and sound VoIP call flow.
Our solutions address the critical areas of concern including:
Data Network Security: Shielding against Denial of Service attacks, and other data network threats.
Legacy Phone System Security: Protecting against identity theft and abusive call patterns falling under the category of SPIT (Spam for Internet Telephony)
VoIP Specific Security: Analysis of message states, and defense against protocol misuse (such as call hijacking and media packet insertion).
Handling Security at Various Points within the Call Flow
No single hardware device or software component can address all security issues, as they require handling at various points within the call flow. Different network components are often required to gather and pass information to other elements - at times crossing local network boundaries.
Kayote has developed a suite of defensive and pro-active tools that compliment integrated best-of-breed solutions from industry leaders in various security-related fields. This ensures that our network is protected against the widest range of vulnerabilities and that traffic to and from partner networks can flow safely.
