Paranet Expands Security Solutions Suite with Voice-Over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) Vulnerability Thre

May 7, 2009 - PRLog -- Dallas, TX – February 4, 2009 – Paranet™ Solutions, LLC, a leading global provider of Data Center, Network Infrastructure and Enterprise Services and Solutions, announced today that it has expanded its Security Solutions Suite to include VoIP Security Services in order to identify and prevent - Illegal Reconnaissance, Malicious Service Disruption, Eavesdropping, Message Manipulation, Services Theft, VoIP Spam, VoIP-to-Data-Exploits and Quality Degradation. Paranet's™ VoIP security solution is anchored with a comprehensive vulnerability and threat assessment.

The convergence of voice, data and video provides considerable cost savings, however, with the cost savings comes new risks that must be addressed in a proactive manner. Now that VoIP has become integrated into many networks it must be secured.

“Companies are carrying business critical data across VoIP networks that are interfacing with other Voice VLANs, Data VLANs, Wireless LANs, Trunking gateways and the public Internet,” said Monty Cook, EVP of Business Development for Paranet™. “The latest attacks that we have seen include Number Harvesting, Eavesdropping, Call Walking, Denial of Service, SIP Worms, Service theft and Identity theft.”

“Every company using VoIP telephony needs to have a rigid security program for it in place,” according to Tom Kearns, Principal, Risk Management and Security for Paranet™. “They need to be sure their organization is protected against all the VoIP vulnerabilities that exist now and in the future. Comprehensive security for VoIP and Unified Communications means that organizations must analyze their security readiness on an ongoing basis.”

Paranet's™ comprehensive VoIP security suite includes services to discover the VOIP assets, test the infrastructure and devices themselves and ensure that they are protected from VoIP/Unified Communications-related threats. Paranet™ performs a complete vulnerability analysis, risk assessment and penetration test.

Paranet's™ combined approach to assessing and attempting to exploit the vulnerabilities of a VoIP network ensures that the greatest number of threats are discovered and remediated. Assessment deliverables include a VoIP Security Assessment Technical Report with an Executive Risk Mitigation Summary in which risks are prioritized based on the value of the asset and probability of exploitation.
