VoIP has been changing the face of corporate communication than before. With IP technology, the business enterprises can create connecting links to their branch offices located in far distance places keeping touch with their workers. The cost of VoIP service is low, very low in contrast to the traditional phone services.
That’s why James Goodman, CEO of Digital Voice IP went to extend saying VoIP is an advance in telecommunications. It enables people to make and receive free calls over the internet, bypassing the call charges imposed by telephone companies.
With above assumptions, we tend to believe that VoIP is preferable to traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). At the same time, we can not overlook security lapses of VoIP that mars the telecommunication service of a corporate sector. Security should be the priority for anyone contemplating enterprise VoIP deployments.
Security experts have traced new security threats of VoIP technology. They claim that software used for VoIP can be used by hackers to get into the data network and steal information. They have proved laptops running Windows XP SP2 with a Windows firewall and McAfee antivirus can be compromised enabling hackers to get through your network and delete or steal data off that laptop.
Rapid developments are taking place in the VoIP world with the launch of new products and services. However, it is half-done work. VoIP is still at its developmental stage. In the coming days, getting a secure VoIP network is a big thing for the business enterprises.
