Secure VoIP Business Systems
In the early days of VoIP, there was no big concern about security issues related to its use. People were mostly concerned with its cost, functionality, and reliability. Now that VoIP is gaining wide acceptance and becoming one of the mainstream communication technologies, security has become a major issue. Hence your organization must be alert with the data being flow through the network. We at Datazone Systems provides the security in VOIP systems through various encryption technologies and tools.
Most identified threats are:
- Identity and Service Theft Eavesdropping is how most hackers steal credentials and other information. Through eavesdropping, a third party can obtain names, password and phone numbers, allowing them to gain control over voicemail, calling plan, call forwarding and billing information. This subsequently leads to service theft.
- Viruses and Malware: VoIP utilization involving softphones and software are vulnerable to worms, viruses, and malware, just like any Internet application.
- DoS (Denial of Service): A DoS attack is an attack on a network or device denying it of a service or connectivity. It can be done by consuming its bandwidth or overloading the network or the device’s internal resources.
- SPIT (Spamming over Internet Telephony): Spamming is actually sending emails to people against their will. Spamming in VoIP is not very common yet, but is starting to be, especially with the emergence of VoIP as an industrial tool.
- Call Tampering: Call tampering is an attack which involves tampering a phone call in progress. For example, the attacker can simply spoil the quality of the call by injecting noise packets in the communication stream.
- Man-in-the-Middle Attacks: VoIP is particularly vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, in which the attacker intercepts call-signaling SIP message traffic and masquerades as the calling party to the called party, or vice versa.
Solution for VoIP Security Threat
Don't let security vulnerabilities decimate the financial and productivity benefits that your company can get, or is already getting, from an IP phone system. Whether you use a hosted IP phone service or an onsite VoIP system, protecting the voice network is much like protecting the data network. The security policies and technologies can be complex, depending on your goals (including compliance requirements), users' applications and locations, and the IP phone system you're using, whether onsite or hosted. Fortunately you can strengthen and simplify your company's security by engaging Datazone Systems - VoIP experts in UAE.
Configure Dial Plans and User Profiles
Take advantage of features on your VoIP system that enable security. Essentially:
- Control voice network access by device certificate and/or user name and password.
- Restrict the types of calls allowed on the network, by device, user, and other criteria, such as time of day.
Use VLANs to Segment Voice Traffic
Some voice systems and switches support device discovery protocols and automatically assign IP phones to voice VLANs.
Protect Your Voice Systems
Apply physical and logical protection, such as:
- Set up a firewall and intrusion prevention system (IPS) to monitor and filter authorized and unauthorized VoIP traffic, and track unusual voice activities, says Krueger.
- Lock voice servers physically, and logically for administration. Centralize administration and use domain restrictions and two-factor authentication for administrative access, including to credentials, signalling data, and configuration files.
- Regularly install OS updates, and limit software loading on phones.
Encrypt Sensitive Voice Traffic
- Apply encryption by segment, device, or user; encrypting indiscriminately can result in excessive network latency or introduce operational overhead and complexity.
- Encrypt the signalling at your Internet gateway with Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) over Transport Layer Security (TLS); your service provider's switch fabric may do this.
- Encrypt the media (packets) with protocols such as SRTP.
- Use VPNs for network connections by remote phones.
