The unspoken truth is that for the most part, largesoftware companies are not motivated to makesoftware secure. They care more about stayingcompetitive and developing the latest features thatconsumers and businesses are looking to buy. Securityissues are often treated more as a marketing challengethan an engineering one.

The Problem

SIP Based PBXs are connected to Larger pipe TDM was limited to

number of trunks. SIP PBXs more vulnerable: networked so data may also be at risk Statistics: multiple attack attempts per day on an IP PBX Session Border Controllers (SBCs)/firewalls only part of the solution

SBC focused more on NAT services, protocols, mostly data not content ofSIP packet

Firewalls: either data-centric or in-skin PBX without continuous updates SIP PBX has many entrances: voicemail menu (3-4 digits in most cases),administration, web based configurations increased vulnerability

The Problem

In-Skin security features are not as strict, not updated once installed,especially for legacy SIP PBXs.

What happens if the End User Does not Pay Annual Support? Security processes may be loose in the SME segment IT Guys may not be experts in Telephony Open source PBX (Asterisk-based) even more vulnerable as

hacker knows default PWs and/or the software architecture of

the PBX

Statistically: daily attacks PER IP-PBX by the thousands Increased attacks, initiated from anywhere Increasingly knowledgeable attackers No Government Body chasing this like there is for a Data Breach Increasing number of IP PBXs in general

The Urgency

Analyzes SIP packets through deep packet inspection Patent pending architecture and cloud management mechanism (V2) Quietly drops malicious SIP packets rather than responding with an error to

help prevent continued attacks

Observes patterns (past and present) within SIP packets and adapts toidentify and block hacking attempts Power supplied through a standard USB power cable (included) Provides ability to automatically install new updates when available Uses a highly optimized network processor to process packets at close to wire

speed (no latency)
