Are Cloud Communications (VoIP) Secure?

Revisiting the nostalgic era of childhood games involving tin cans and string evokes fond memories. However, today relying on outdated phone systems proves inadequate for organizational communication needs. Embracing the cutting-edge technology of cloud communications, also known as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), marks a significant transition akin to upgrading from a can string to a rocket ship. This advancement propels users into a realm characterized by crystal-clear calls and smart features.

Is VoIP (Voice over IP) Secure?

Absolutely!

Concerns about the security of VoIP (Voice over IP) are addressed with state-of-the-art encryptions. These encryptions extend beyond a mere safeguard - employing multiple layers of encryption functions - ensuring the utmost privacy for calls, messages, and data. This guarantees that even concerted efforts to breach security would prove futile, providing users the confidence to engage in confidential discussions.

Furthermore, these encryption functions cover in-transit conversations as well as at-rest files, like voicemails and meeting or chat notes. The robust security infrastructure of our VoIP systems, built on secure servers, transforms your information into an impregnable fortress, safeguarding it from potential threats such as hackers.

 

Is VoIP Compliant with Industry Regulations?

Yes!

Recognizing the many regulatory requirements placed on various industries, our VoIP system ensures compliance with a myriad of standards, spanning industries from healthcare to finance. This commitment allows organizations to focus on their core activities and growth without being encumbered by legal complexities.

 

Features of VoIP Security

· Password Validation: When passwords are set, reset, or recovered, they are validated to prevent the use of previously compromised passwords. Administrators can require this check and can also require all users to change their passwords at the next login if there appears to be a risk of compromise.

· Suspicious Activity Notifications: When a login to a user's account occurs from a location that the user has never signed in from before, notifications are sent to the user and administrator using default and alternative email addresses so that users and administrators can take immediate action.

· File Sharing Scans: Files shared and stored in our VoIP system are scanned for malware and viruses during uploads and updates to protect users. Links shared in SMS are also scanned and users are alerted to potential threats.

· Two-Factor Authentication: Administrators can also require 2FA for user accounts to access mobile, web, and desktop applications.

· Security Monitoring: A dedicated, full-time staff certified in information security is involved with all aspects of security, including log and event monitoring, penetration testing, incident response, managing endpoint protection, vulnerability management, perimeter defense, service and architecture testing, and source code reviews.
