Is your network or device vulnerable to attacks targeting signaling and billing data therefore making you and your customers susceptible to billing fraud, unauthorized use of services, and denial of service attacks?

While the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) dramatically transforms communications for consumers and enterprise by enabling carriers to offer premium services such as video, voice, and next-generation applications to mobile devices and desktops, the adoption of an entirely IP-based infrastructure also dramatically increases vulnerability to security threats.

A robust multi-layered, IPsec-based defense strategy is imperative for authenticating users and communication devices, ensuring the privacy of data communications, and preventing theft of service and other network attacks.
