Converged networks require converged security that
expands traditional data security policies and procedures
to protect the privacy of all network information,
including IP Telephony traffic, since IP telephony
can introduce unauthorized entry points into the network.
Also, traditional data security practices can impact
IP Telephony voice quality if not engineered correctly.
So, a converged network must be designed to comply
with IT security policies for voice and data, while
not impeding the performance of critical network applications.
Converged security services start with a Security
Assessment, to identify the network “gaps” that can
be exploited by an attacker. Security Policy Development
defines the procedures, responsibilities, controls
and security measures required to protect assets in
a converged environment. That preparation supports
the Security Architecture & Design, which brings
Avaya expertise to the complex task of designing a
secure information infrastructure within converged
networks. Architecture & Design ensures that the
security measures defined in a policy are designed
into the security framework.
Avaya also helps satisfy corporate security policy
requirements by allowing network access control and
providing secure, proactive application maintenance
& monitoring in a converged environment. This
secure remote maintenance solution also provides the
reporting necessary to demonstrate compliance with
security, data integrity and privacy regulations.
Managed Security Services builds on these capabilities
by providing security through the extended perimeter
of an enterprise’s voice, data and IP networks. Managed
Security Services offers additional regulatory compliance
support through proactive and real-time event reporting,
audit trails, forensic analysis, and intrusion detection
and incident responses that strengthen security for
the networks monitored.
