Securing Voice Traffic With Cisco IOS SSL VPN

Tags:
vpns

Overview Data confidentiality has been an IP security challenge for years. When traditional telephony systems began evolving from PBXs to IP-based systems, organizations started to feel the threat of eavesdropping and the loss of confidentiality for voice communications. A VoIP VPN combines voice over IP and virtual private network technologies to deliver secure voice. Because VoIP transmits digitized voice as a stream of data, the VoIP VPN solution accomplishes voice encryption simply, applying standard data-encryption mechanisms inherently available in the collection of protocols used to implement a VPN. Using technology to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs is an ongoing effort for businesses of all sizes, especially for Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs).

Gartner: Don't believe the tech security myths

Is VoIP drilling holes in your network?

Because VoIP tries to have a quality of service (QoS) like real telephony, there is pressure to keep it as lightweight as possible, which unfortunately threw out stream-based encryption as part of the scenario.
