Traditional Session Border Controller's were built to solve a variety of
problems ranging from NAT Traversal to Protocol interworking and
trans-coding. With Voice over IP confined to private enterprise
networks or between service provider networks, security was an
afterthought.
With the adoption of SIP as the standard protocol for real-time IP
communications, and the delivery of applications over public networks,
the requirements for Session Border Controllers have changed. Many
vendors are trying to re-purpose their existing products, leaving their
customers exposed to a large number of vulnerabilities that traditional
Session Border Controllers were not designed to address. In many cases,
customers are paying for functionality they simply do not need, while
not getting the protection they do.
BorderWare SIPassure was specifically designed to provide market leading
application security, while delivering Session Border Control functions
that are relevant to current SIP based applications including Voice,
Video and presence.
SIPassure is a software based solution providing Near-end and Far-end
NAT traversal for SIP and RTP, QoS support and other functions to allow
SIP applications like VoIP to be delivered over existing networks. A
highly flexible architecture allows this functionality to be embedded
within existing applications such as IP/PBX, Softswitches, and other SIP
application servers. Support for multiple Operating Systems allows the
solution to leverage a wide range of platforms offering ultra-high
performance at lower cost than proprietary Session Border Controllers.
SIPassure integrates with well established load balancing technologies
from Radware and F5 allowing deployment into existing IP infrastructure
without adding another layer of complexity to achieve high resiliency
and survivability during outages. SIPassure's modular architecture
includes separation of signaling and media proxies and transparent proxy
capabilities to provide a flexible and cost effective implementation
that can be tailored to meet the needs of today's deployments. |
