Simplesignalbusinessvoip(Power Point)

About SimpleSignalSimpleSignal is a service provider of a disruptive technology that is radically changing the way the world communicates and is altering the current business models of the largest telecommunication companies on earth. This chaos of change amidst the giants will create an opportunity for SimpleSignal to bring our solution of converged voice, video and data over broadband to small to medium business (SMB). There is a dramatic transformation in telecommunications that leverages the power of the Internet to enable next generation communications capabilities. It uses a broadband Internet connection to carry local and long distance voice calls instead of the public switched telephone network. (PSTN)

SimpleSignal stands to have the single biggest impact on business since the invention of the telephone itself. Our astounding feature set enables business efficiencies that have until now been unknown. Businesses want to simplify and unify their business communications. Business people want One place to check all their personal and business voicemails, One number that rings all their phones, One mailbox that contains their email and voicemail sound files, One place where all calls and IM are purposely directed and managed according to their agenda; this is the power of One, the power of SimpleSignal Unified Communications.

The key to our success is our unrelenting focus on our customers. Our goal is to exceed established performance standards while offering our customers innovative communication solutions coupled with the highest personal service. We place primary importance on the individual and their company. We fully recognize the vital part our customers play in our organization and strive to work together to solve even the most challenging problems with patience, wisdom and integrity. This in our opinion is the only way a company can be successfully operated for the long term.

Security Risks Traditional voice security problems are simple and well-understood. In the PSTN world, security problems include fraudulent use of service, privacy concerns, and loss of service. These security issues have had the same underlying technology problems and solutions for decades. The same cannot be said for IP Telephony. IP Telephony has the same security issues as traditional telephony, including fraudulent use of service, privacy concerns, and loss of service. Even though traditional telephony has faced and solved these very same issues, placing calls and their corresponding signaling onto an IP infrastructure changes the dynamics of how these fundamental security considerations must be addressed. Many groups of technology problems must be successfully identified and addressed during the migration from traditional voice services to an IP Telephony environment. 

Client Authentication To help ensure that calls placed on the SimpleSignal VoIP network are from a trusted user, SimpleSignal VoIP clients and servers support two forms of authentication depending on the customer premises equipment (CPE). IP phones and Mediatrix use SIP Digest Authentication. Digest authentication uses the MD5 digest hash. Enterprise gateways for PBXs use IP Security (IP Sec) authentication header (AH). SimpleSignal sets the passwords on the IP phones before they are shipped. Telnet access is disabled to the phones for security because it is not encrypted. In 2005, SimpleSignal deployed a CPE Manager in our network for secure upgrades, which will be the SMARTS in-charge system. If a customer desires, we can assist with setting up a TFTP service at their premises. 

Firewalls Implementing firewalls and filters between network voice and data segments also is recommended by NIST. Firewalls provide a single point of focus for security policies. These policies define which resources have access to other resources and simultaneously provide an activity log. Firewalls can be stand-alone devices or incorporated into routers, VPN devices, or an IDS. 

A firewall is strongly recommended for all SimpleSignal VoIP configurations. SimpleSignal installs and supports Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)-aware firewalls that are optimized for VoIP. The firewall filters the VoIP signaling based on the source address and only allows SIP messages that originate from SimpleSignal’s proxies to reach the IP phones. We have certified several integrated routers that include firewall functionality, as well as a number of firewalls, for use on the SimpleSignal VoIP network.
