VoIP Security For Your Enterprise Business: What Are The Risks?

As time moves forward so does technology, and when it comes to the VoIP world, things are moving faster than ever.  Long gone are the days of proprietary systems with huge price tags and little to no freedom.

That’s right, these days we are seeing more and more enterprise level businesses switching there proprietary VoIP phone systems to open source VoIP phone systems.

There is, however, one common misunderstanding when it comes to open source VoIP at the enterprise level, and that is that there are more security risks.  Perhaps at one point in time, that statement would have had some truth to it, but these days, it’s simply not the case.

Not only are you able to maintain the same level of security with the right components, but you are also going to save money, and who doesn’t want to save money?

Here at VoIP Supply, we noticed that there have been a lot more enterprises coming to us looking for the switch to an open source platform, but at the same time, we most certainly have noticed that this “security risk” stigma is still very real.

So what did we do?  We brought in the Vice President of Marketing at Sangoma Technologies and General Manager of the CCD Business Unit at Sangoma, Jim Machi.  We sat down with Jim to talk a little bit about how easy it can be to secure your enterprise business.

Do you run an enterprise IT department? What type of VoIP phone system are you using? We want to know!
