Spectrum Security News, Updates and Tools
IT security has never been more talked about and the need to secure business data has never been greater. With horror stories in the news from bank details held to ransom, telecoms fraud and hacked eBay passwords to the recent Heartbleed bug emerging on a weekly basis, organisations are facing security challenges almost every day.
Even without these fear-inducing headlines, there’s no denying that it would be naive at best to ignore the ever-changing landscape of protecting your IT network and business data.
Network Security
IT networks have been under increasing attack from ever-evolving online threats from ‘spyware’ and malicious software ‘malware’. If you are you concerned about your vulnerabilities to the ‘Heartbleed’ virus you can download our ‘The Heartbleed Bug’ pdf to find out what it means for your business. Run a quick check using the Heartbleed Scanner or check your products.
Infrastructure Security
New ICT services bring with them new opportunities for exploitation by hackers. A converged IP network faces constantly. The cost of taking no action to protect yourself is going up, therefore it’s vital to implement and continually update best practice and early warning systems to mitigate and limit the potential threat of telecom fraud activity.
To protect yourself from the latest threats Spectrum offer a range of products including the Sonus Session Border Controllers which are designed to deliver robust security across your IP network. Please also see our Telecom Fraud blog post for advice on how to take a few simple measures to safeguard your business.
