BorderWare Releases New Class of Enterprise VoIP Security

Note:  I came across this product today.  I like how they explain their approach using a self-proclaimed "non-proprietary solution" and open source operating system.  It seems the more we look at true security on our networks, the only way I can see us truly securing hardware is using a open source model so we can have alot of eyeballs examining the code and releasing patches faster so it stays secure.  People need to realize that securing a network is a goal and moving target.  The second you rest on your laurels and think you are secure thats the moment your most vulnerable because you have taken your eye off the ball.  Anyways here is the release we found:

"BorderWare Technologies has announced what it is calling a new approach to securing and servicing VoIP that is cost effective and highly scalable to meet the needs of today's service provider and enterprise markets. As VoIP security evolves, service providers and enterprises are realizing the need to secure their converged applications including VoIP, Video and other real-time applications, to protect from attacks such as toll fraud, service disruptions and Spam over Internet Telephony (SPIT)." 

BorderWare's new SIPassure, SIP Security Gateway, is an evolution of the traditional SBC (session border controller), that leverages standard platforms to deliver superior security, flexible deployment options and seamless integration - all at a lower cost of ownership than current proprietary solutions on the market.

SIPassure is a software based, non-proprietary solution, combining features of an SBC with the security of a traditional firewall and the application awareness of an Application Layer Gateway (ALG). SIPassure is architected to run on standard operating systems such as Solaris and Linux, enabling enterprises and service providers to deploy using standard off-the-shelf hardware from vendors including Sun and HP instead of the proprietary purpose built platforms used by traditional SBC vendors.

"Our new approach to securing VoIP solves today's business enablement challenges without re-inventing the wheel," said Tim Leisman, CEO of BorderWare. "The software-based and flexible nature of SIPassure has driven the OEM market to rapidly adopt and integrate it as part of their platforms, providing further proof that adding security to the mix shouldn't require companies to implement an entirely new architecture and solution."

BorderWare SIPassure has key partnerships with Sun Microsystems and Radware to provide high performance and a resilient architecture to meet the most demanding needs of service providers and enterprises.
