Alcatel-Lucent unveils secure VoIP system

Tools

Alcatel-Lucent announced Tuesday a secure VoIP solution for medium and large firms that has no known vulnerabilities, according to the company. The system uses Alca-Lu's VPN Firewall Brick, which was designed by Bell Labs to preserve quality of service while defending against attacks.

"We are seeing more and more vulnerabilities posted against VoIP, and there are some easy targets," said Natalie Stallwood, Alcatel-Lucent's business development manager.

"Often when VoIP is deployed it is by a comms team, not an IT or security [team]. VoIP delivers so many great benefits to businesses including reducing costs, but they need to make sure it's secure."

The secure VoIP solution randomly and dynamically assigns a port for a call only once the session has been initiated, unlike other firewalls, which may assign several ports during a single call, leaving vulnerabilities for a network attack.
