Communications security solutions provider Sipera Systems has announced that their solutions allow merchants who transfer payment transaction data over VoIP connections to comply with the PCI Security Standards Council’s recently released guidance on VoIP connections.
Sipera’s award-winning security appliance solution provides comprehensive application-layer security for VoIP, enabling an enterprise to implement these important security controls simply and easily.
“Many in the security community have recently focused on VoIP and Unified Communications application security as essential for safeguarding financial transactions of all kinds,” said Adam Boone, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management for Sipera Systems. “The new guidance regarding payment card privacy is a critical development in this area, because VoIP communications are widespread and are now a favored target of hackers and fraudsters.”
Pre-integrated and interoperable with enterprise VoIP infrastructure from all leading manufacturers, Sipera’s UC-Sec provides a complete application-layer security architecture for VoIP and UC in one simple appliance. The UC-Sec enables an enterprise to comply with the PCI SSC guidance on VoIP security with these capabilities:
