The adoption of VoIP has touched sky-high over the years. This technology has made us to envisage a world without boundaries. It is also the same technology, which is the root cause of security threats, phishing scams and so on.
With a vision to achieve secure VoIP and other such converged networks where data, voice and video pass through on the same communications layer, Industry Canada’s Protocol Analysis Lab (PAL) has adopted an Intrusion Prevention Technology from the Ottawa-based Third Brigade Inc,.
Michael Binder, assistant deputy minister at Industry Canada opined,
As VoIP is rapidly being adopted by a wide range of users- from government to small business to the home consumer-it is increasingly important that we work to ensure the stability of these networks.
Third Brigade explains the intrusion prevention technology is a packet inspection engine that checks inbound and outbound traffic streams for malicious code and protocol anomalies that match defined rules.
