What is Changing Around our RTC Networks?

Zero-Trust• There are no security borders

• SIP opens new doors; every application must be secured

• The security stack must be re-architected for data & voice

Implications to Your Business• Attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated

• A single network element cannot handle them alone

• Real-time communications are not fully secured

Defining the RTC Security Applications

• Advanced algorithm and machine learning techniques

to siphon out unwanted, disruptive calls from your

communications networks and applications

• Detect calling anomalies based on metrics such as

CAC by Calling number or long/short call durations, etc

• Automatically alert on and blocks rogue calling patterns

NETProtect

TDOSProtect

• Threat intelligence sharing

• NGFW integration

• Blacklist, DBL sharing

10 Ribbon Communications Confidential and Proprietary

Defining the Fraud Management Applications

• Identify repetitive calling patterns to anomalous places

and flag them in real-time based on destination

detection

• As more fraudulent calls are made they are quickly

identified and terminated, thus mitigating any

expensive toll charges

• Detects calls to premium numbers; exceeding BW

utilization or peak call rate

• Automatically alerts and/or blocks rogue calling

patterns

• Integrated 3rd party Robo-database

• Higher effective rate

• Automated System Wide Remediation Via SBC’s or

PSX Policy enforcement

Securing Communications is IMPORTANT!

“What cyber threat intelligence is showing us is

that most threats simply exploit a series of

well-documented vulnerabilities and other

weak points to move along the path of least

resistance – and the most profit.”

“Attackers may be looking for the path of least

resistance, but there is no shortcut to securing

your platform. Vulnerabilities in the SS7

protocol recently made headlines, where

cybercriminals compromised bank accounts by

hijacking SMS messages sent to victims’ phones to

bypass second-factor authentication.”

“This novel data exfiltration technique using video

marks an escalation in the conflict as ever more

sophisticated attackers adopt the same tools that

drive productivity and growth in the corporate world to

steal its most sensitive assets.”
