Manage the Risk – and Reap the Reward – of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Tuesday, April 29th, 2014 TIME: 11:00 a.m. EDT/ 8:00 a.m. PDT / 3:00 p.m. GMT Today more than ever, the rise or fall of businesses revolves around the capabilities of their networks. For many businesses, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) holds the key to developing a flexible, cost-effective network infrastructure capable of supporting multimedia collaboration and untethered workers. Not only is SIP powerful, it is also cost effective; many businesses find that SIP solutions can reduce their telecommunica­tions network operating costs by as much as 80 percent. However, while SIP provides more cost and management efficiency, SIP also shares the same risks as the Internet Protocol it’s based on: namely, viruses, malware, spoofing and other Internet-based attacks. Because real-time media like voice and video communications are much more sensitive to delay and quality issues than data communications such as email or Web browsing, they require something more than a firewall to protect SIP communications and SIP networks at the border. Session Border Controllers (SBCs) are specially designed devices that secure real-time communications through encryption, authentication, protection and other methods, while providing additional functionality to improve those communications, such as call routing, policy enforcement, signaling interoperability and media transcoding. This session will explore how to reap the rewards of SIP – while avoiding the risks. In this webinar, you’ll learn how SBCs can: Protect your network from common attacks and fraud Enable SIP trunking to increase cost savings and operate more efficiently Enable better communications in multi-vendor, multi-device environments   Register Today Sponsors:		Presenters: David Tipping Vice President and General Manager Sonus SBC Business David Tipping is the Vice President and General Manager of the SBC Business at Sonus.
