White Paper Abstract:
The same IP technology that enables IP Communications to boost productivity, increase mobility and enhance flexibility can create manageable challenges to information security. These challenges exist whether the update is incremental or total. When appropriate security measures are taken, IP Communications can be as secure, or even more secure than traditional circuit-switched systems. Critical to this security is a systemic approach, taking into account both IP Communications technologies and traditional network security techniques. This paper describes issues relative to IP Communications security and the tools, techniques and technologies available from Cisco to mitigate the issues raised. The intent is to provide organizations examples of real-world solutions which can help them build secure IP Communications environments.
