Intrusion-Prevention Systems (IPS) for Hosted PBX
Intrusion-Prevention Systems (IPS) for Hosted PBX
As
an IP-reliant service, hosted PBX users should watch out for a variety
of cyber threats: denial of service attacks (DoS), interception,
eavesdropping, vishing, theft, hacking, fraud and more. Although
standard security protocols do serve as protective agents on a given
network, most firewalls cannot stop attacks directed at the signaling or
media layers. But this doesn’t mean hosted PBX users are helplessly
susceptible to such attacks.

Portability
ranks highly as most desirable VoIP feature, particularly for corporate
and recreational travellers. Rather than using funds better-spent
sightseeing, VoIP allows users to connect remotely, forgoing costly
international call rates altogether. To do so, travellers simply need to
pack their hardware—IP phone (wired or wireless), ATA and/or computer.

Is Your Network Too Crowded for VoIP?
Is Your Network Too Crowded for VoIP?
A bevy of factors can cause slow internet, but network hogs are
common culprits to watch for. Such users upload and download heavily,
consuming a sizeable chunk of the bandwidth available. In the workplace,
employers limit data usage to prevent this problem, but at home, the
network’s yours to monitor. If you feel like you’re competing for data,
check to see who else is using your router to boost VoIP security and
performance.

Is Hosted PBX Vulnerable over Public Networks?
Is Hosted PBX Vulnerable over Public Networks?
Security tops the list of concerns for hosted PBX, despite little
reason to fret in the office or at home. In such environments, building
firewalls and security layers can protect data from unwanted guests, but
no such measures exist in the open world. This is because most public
IP networks, such as hotspots offered in restaurants and transit
stations, are unencrypted and unauthenticated, making data interception
possible.
