Session Border Controllers
Companies that use TDM PBXs and wish to add VoIP connection to reduce telephony costs need to seriously think about security. For this purpose your network’s firewall is not enough. You will need a device that is called Session Border Controller (SBC).
A regular firewall protects your data network but from the moment you’ve opened it to the Internet which happens when you connect to VoIP services, the network is exposed.
Session Border Controllers protect data and voice network. They are designed to handle every aspect of VoIP phone calls.
