SBC controls

Our SBCs protect themselves, IP PBXs, unified communications servers and other elements of the enterprise network, as well as networks, systems and relationships. They protect enterprise networks and session privacy, and provide denial-of-service (DoS/DDoS) protection from malicious attacks and non-malicious overloads.

SBC DoS/DDoS protection

  • Protect SBC from DoS/DDoS attack and other malicious attacks
  • Protect SBC from non-malicious overloads
  • Allow trusted/authenticated users access while under DoS attack
  • Dynamically accept or reject traffic based on device behavior

Access control

  • Filter specific devices or whole networks on a per-application basis
  • Permit access to known devices or networks
  • Permit access to authorized/registered users; permit or deny access to mask users
  • Dynamically accept or reject traffic based on device behavior
  • Accept media only for authorized sessions

Topology hiding & privacy

  • Hide data center network topology to prevent directed attacks
  • Mask user information for privacy and confidentiality
  • Protect users and enterprise infrastructure from eavesdroppers, identity thieves and fraud
  • Secure L2 and L3 VPNs by maintaining security isolation between VPNs
  • Support inter-VPN sessions; monitor media for intra-VPN sessions for fraud prevention

Virus, worm & SPIT protection

  • Protect network from malicious attachments, prevent malformed messages from overloading resources
  • Restrict usage to prevent automated dialing/unwanted sessions

Service infrastructure DoS prevention

  • Prevent DoS attacks from reaching data center service infrastructure
  • Protect core from signaling overload attacks by enforcing call rate limiting and message rate limiting policies

Fraud prevention

  • Perform signaling and media validation by authenticating and authorizing users
  • Enforce contract per-user/device policies and prevent piggyback usage

Monitoring and reporting

  • Monitor and report on alarms for attacks and overloads
  • Audit trails for attack response and fraud investigation
  • Provide secure monitoring and management access to protect from unauthorized personnel
