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.

 

Our converged network 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.
