The Importance of Security in VoIP Networks
With the growing adoption of VoIP technology in recent decades—especially following the surge in remote work and the migration of organizations to cloud infrastructures—the need for security in real-time communications has become more critical than ever. While VoIP offers advantages such as cost reduction and increased efficiency, it also introduces a new set of security risks, particularly when communication infrastructures move from closed internal environments to cloud-based platforms.
In such scenarios, cyber attackers exploit vulnerabilities in the signaling and media layers to launch a variety of threats against organizations. This makes the presence of a locally developed, intelligent, and flexible security solution essential for protecting VoIP communications.
