NetClarity Will Test Your VoIP Equipment for Free
TMCnet Associate Editor
NetClarity, which develops network vulnerability products and services for small and medium-size businesses, has announced a free vulnerability testing program for VoIP equipment providers.
The company’s “Audit My VoIP” program includes scans of all types of equipment - from session initiation protocol (SIP) gateways to IP-enabled telephones - for common vulnerability and exposures (CVE), the systemic cause of over 90 percent of all network security breaches.
NetClarity claims it will provide the free VoIP audit results “with a high level of integrity and confidentially.” It claims the “Audit My VoIP” program can help VoIP equipment manufacturers take a preemptive, proactive approach to VoIP security.
”Enterprise VoIP equipment is particularly susceptible to being maliciously exploited, which can lead to down-time and lost revenue,” said Gary Miliefsky, founder and chief technology officer of NetClarity in a company news release. “I encourage all VoIP equipment providers to have their products audited for CVEs. Our free program is the first step to enabling end-user organizations to preemptively, proactively protect their critical voice networks against the kind of exposures that could leave them susceptible to poor call quality, denial of service, breaches of privacy, integrity and availability.”
It is recommended that large VoIP equipment providers have their products tested and approved in accordance with MITRE standards. Hardening their products before they are shipped will help enterprise customers ensure that they are deploying secure and stable equipment.
