IT EXPO News: VoIPshield Intros VoIP Vulnerability Assessor
TMCnet VoIP Minute Watch Columnist
VoIP security product provider VoIPshield Systems Inc. introduced the VoIPaudit, a vulnerability assessment system for VoIP-based services, the company announced on Wednesday at the Internet Telephony Conference and EXPO taking place in the Los Angeles Convention Center in California this week.
With VoIPaudit in place, VoIP service providers will be able to automatically identify and eliminate possible VoIP-specific attacks before they impact IP telephone services.
"Ours is the first security solution which can not only address the complexity of voice deployments, but secure the VoIP network at the systems level," noted Paul Slaby, co-founder and CEO of VoIPshield Systems. "VoIPaudit is designed to meet the unique requirements of enterprises and service providers deploying VoIP. Voice communications are critical and VoIPaudit offers an unprecedented level of intelligence and security assessment for all the equipment and devices in the VoIP network."
Cinnabar Networks and MKC Networks have been beta testing VoIPaudit. They "have been able to identify security issues and take corrective actions before voice systems are impacted," noted the company's news release.
VoIPaudit scans all VoIP specific devices and applications, related components such as directory servers, routers, firewalls and the underlying operating system. It also provides multi-vendor support for VoIP protocols including SIP, H323, Cisco Skinny, Nortel Unistim, and other proprietary protocols.
The system is currently available and it's priced starting at $US 10,000.
VoIPshield made news earlier this year when it secured $2 million in seed financing from Toronto-based Brightspark Ventures. "The investment provides VoIPshield with the capital necessary to complete the development of its pioneering technology which protects voice communications over the IP networks," noted the company's news release.
VoIPshield is exhibiting at the Internet Telephony Conference and EXPO at booth # 431. Bogdan Materna VoIPshield's VP Engineering and CTO will be participating in a panel on Security in the IP Telephony Network, today from 2:30 to 3:15 p.m.
