VoIP
solutions are in use by many companies these days because of alluring profit
margins and other business benefits. The increase in benefits also attracts
consequences. In the case of VoIP businesses, threats such as malicious use of
the VoIP solution, hack attacks, etc. are increased. The most common threats
that hamper VoIP businesses are listed below:
DoS (Denial of Service)- DDoS (Destructive Denial of Service)
- Toll Fraud
These are the
top 3 major threats lurking to harm VoIP businesses. There are also other small
to big hack attacks and other threats that can harm businesses. These attacks
can harm businesses by making fake calls or destruct the reputation of the
company. It can also steal customer data which can harm a VoIP business in
multiple ways. To protect a VoIP business from all these attacks, one needs to
get a security solution. The normal firewall or antivirus software cannot be as
effective in the case of a VoIP solution. Here comes an SBC solution in the picture.
SBC stands
for Session Border Controller. It is basically a security solution. The best
VoIP development companies design a custom session border controller for the
VoIP solution and install it on the session level. It checks all packets,
signals, and data that come in and go out. This gives the highest level of
security to the VoIP solution as well as the whole network.
Traditionally,
the SBC software was developed to keep VoIP solutions and infrastructure
secure. As time passes, the best VoIP
development companies such as Vindaloo VoIP Solutions Pvt. Ltd. started
building multipurpose session border controller solutions. This type of SBC
solution definitely does the job of securing the VoIP solution and
infrastructure, but this is not it. The Session Border Controller software is
not limited to security operations. It can do many more things along with
security.
The SBC
system can work as a mediator to create interoperability. It means it can let
two completely different VoIP solutions work in harmony. It can perform codec
transcoding as the first step to provide a flexible solution. It means no
matter which coded your VoIP solution uses and no matter which codec your
vendor or provider use, the SBC solution performs transcoding the code on both
ends to let systems work in a harmony. It also performs protocol conversion as
an added feature so if a business wants to connect two different VoIP solutions
working with different protocols then the SBC system can let them work with the
highest accuracy.
These are
some of the key features available in the Session Border Controller (SBC)
solution. There are many more features that make it much more than just a
security solution.
It is
advisable to get a custom SBC solution development because in that case, the
VoIP experts develop a custom session border controller that can fit in your
own business model, VoIP solution, and other factors.
