Sipera Systems Award-Winning UC Security Solution Undergoes Compatibility Testing With McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator Security Management Platform

Sipera Systems, a leader in real-time Unified Communications enablement and security, today announced that its award-winning UC-Sec enterprise communications security solution is undergoing compatibility testing with McAfee® ePolicy Orchestrator®) security management platform.

The testing is completed

When the testing is completed, security managers can gain visibility into the entire spectrum of IP-based business communications -- including voice, video, data and web applications -- from a single central management point. This enables security managers to have unprecedented control over the security of voice-over-IP, IP video conferencing, SIP trunks, collaboration applications and other UC applications.

The Sipera UC-Sec appliance is a plug-and-play network device that provides comprehensive security for real-time UC applications. As a complement to the existing security architecture, the UC-Sec provides application-layer firewalling, intrusion prevention, threat mitigation, access control and policy enforcement in real-time for delay sensitive applications.

The UC-Sec encrypts UC-traffic

The UC-Sec encrypts UC-traffic, terminates SIP trunks, forks media and signaling for compliance, and permits an enterprise to safely and securely extend VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and UC to any end point in any location. Sipera's clients use the appliance to conduct secure VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) on smartphones, in remote offices, to distributed call center representatives and to enforce security policies on all UC traffic in real-time.

Sipera's groundbreaking "Borderless UC" architecture enables all communications to be encrypted and compliant on any UC device, at any internal and external location.

The ePolicy Orchestrator platform

"When UC-Sec achieves compatibility with the ePolicy Orchestrator platform, enterprises will be able to easily manage UC and smartphone security within their McAfee security management systems," said Andy Asava, Vice President of Business Development at Sipera. "This testing, and our participation in the McAfee SIA program, will help enterprises more easily adopt desktop-based and mobile UC applications, ensure compliance with industry security and privacy mandates, and streamline overall security management."

"We're pleased to see Sipera Systems undergoing McAfee compatibility testing for a solution that will be of interest to our joint clients," said Ed Barry, vice president of the Security Technology Alliance, McAfee. "The integrated solution will ensure that VoIP/UC infrastructure and endpoints, both mobile and fixed, are visible to the security manager for the first time within McAfee ePO software."
