Several others are on the way to adopting a hybrid or remote work model.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During this transition, organisations must diligently oversee IT management and work closely with their <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/solutions\/voip-phone-service\/\">VoIP Phone Provider<\/a><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>to enforce requisite security measures. And the research for the same should begin in the buying stage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those of you who\u2019re thinking of transitioning to cloud communications, and even for those who already have a VoIP system, we have put together a list of dos and don\u2019ts. So, without further ado\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Check it out: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/what-is-a-voip-phone-system\/\">What is a VoIP Phone System<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Selecting your VoIP provider<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5979 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/selecting-your-VoIP-provider.png\" alt=\"Selecting your VoIP Provider\" width=\"737\" height=\"376\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Dos<\/h3>\n<h4>Vendor due diligence<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organisations should research well and prepare a list of questions they can ask every vendor before selecting one. They can then finalise a provider on the basis of the plans and features they offer, their uptime guarantee, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, companies should review the audit reports of different service providers and schedule meetings to discuss security.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Negotiate security terms in your contract<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"709\" data-end=\"1006\">When you have selected a VoIP provider, the next step is to purchase the service.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"709\" data-end=\"1006\">Businesses should include explicit security terms and agreements in writing while finalizing a contract with the vendor. Irrespective of the company&#8217;s size, always add security obligations in your vendor agreements.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1008\" data-end=\"1178\"><strong>Need clarity on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/inbound-vs-outbound-call-center\/\">difference between inbound and outbound call center solutions?<\/a> Understanding this can help you choose the right VoIP provider for your business.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Don&#8217;ts<\/h4>\n<h4>Don\u2019t neglect the shared Voip security model<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Businesses need to understand that apart from VoIP and UCaaS, all cloud services run on a shared security model.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that they share a sense of responsibility in implementing secure cloud services. Thus, they should ensure a closed loop between customers and vendors.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Implementing VoIP security<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5980 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/implementing-VoIP-security.png\" alt=\"Implementing VoIP Security\" width=\"737\" height=\"376\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Dos<\/h3>\n<h4>Use encrypted VoIP services<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A modern VoIP provider should offer end-to-end encryption when deploying their service. Organisations should use services that support <a class=\"acefone_web_click\" href=\"https:\/\/www.geeksforgeeks.org\/transport-layer-security-tls\/\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Transport Layer Security (TLS)<\/a> or <a class=\"acefone_web_click\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Secure_Real-time_Transport_Protocol\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol (SRTP)<\/a> encryption.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, often, paying a premium to enjoy a more secure VoIP phone service can be better than going for the cheapest option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure that your <\/span>Voip security <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">provider uses encrypted signalling and media at rest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Set up private V-LANs<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A private <a class=\"acefone_web_click\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Virtual_LAN\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">virtual LAN<\/a> segments VoIP traffic, giving IT managers better and swifter control.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are different ways to protect your VoIP traffic but setting up a private VLAN is the easiest. It acts as single access and an uplink point to connect the device to a router, server or network.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Private VLANs are a good network\u00a0strategy because of their ability to prevent one workstation from talking to another. It is essential to set up your dedicated voice LAN as part of your privileged security design.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Don&#8217;ts<\/h3>\n<h4>Don\u2019t mix your LANs<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Businesses shouldn\u2019t mix form factors and connected devices within the same network design.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to deployment, many organisations have a mix of headsets and cloud-based interfaces. Most employees use softphones, but there will always be a mix of a desk phone and conference phones connected to your <\/span>Voip security <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">network.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A seamless connection is best built with similar infrastructure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Don\u2019t leave your VoIP outside the firewall<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/solutions\/voip-phone-service\/\"><strong>Voip business phone systems<\/strong><\/a> must be protected by the corporate firewall . Without it, anyone on the Internet can try to attack and log in to your system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Companies should add firewalls to cover softphones that are wirelessly connected to employees\u2019 home networks.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, IT teams should ensure that every home wireless router implement to <\/span>Secure <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/using-firewall-to-secure-voip-system\/\">VoIP Firewall<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The IT staff must conduct tests across different router devices and quickly help users implement proper settings over the phone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>VoIP service management<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5981 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/VoIP-service-management.png\" alt=\"VoIP Service Management\" width=\"737\" height=\"376\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Dos<\/h3>\n<h4>Change your default passwords<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like any other hardware, VoIP devices come with default login credentials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid any vulnerability, employees should change their default passwords immediately. If a third-party vendor manages your phone, ensure that they change the passwords on your behalf.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Keep track of usage<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All VoIP services\u2014from cloud phone systems and on-premise voice systems to private branch exchange (PBX)\u2014have a chance of getting hacked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most common attack is an account takeover (ATO), also called telephone fraud or traffic pumping. In this, the attacker hacks the VoIP system to make phone calls that are billed to the owner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to defend against an ATO attack is to keep track of your data usage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/solutions\/cloud-phone-system\/\">hosted phone system<\/a>, ask your service provider how they plan to protect your data. Are they using backend fraud monitoring and user behaviour analytics looking for hybrid usage?<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Enable strong authentication<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Businesses should enable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/augment-your-data-security-levels-with-two-factor-authentication-infographic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">two-factor authentication<\/a> and invest in heavier identity management systems for competent security practices. Ensure strong identity authentication in desk phones, web applications and different parts of the service.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Don&#8217;t<\/h3>\n<h4>Don\u2019t have unnecessary security permissions<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One way to prevent account takeover (ATO) damage is to turn off permissions and features your business doesn&#8217;t need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, turn off the international dialing feature if you do business in the UK, US or Canada and don&#8217;t need to call all parts of the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Don\u2019t forget about patching<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is crucial to patch and keep track of updates for any software.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It doesn&#8217;t matter whether you are using a softphone, VoIP mobile app or any other hardware, patches are key. Even if you are using home routers where your network is connected in a distributed manner, patching is critical.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By controlling the brand and model of these routers, your IT staff can automate the patching process and verify that each device complies. If you cannot do so, the next step is constant user communication and scheduled phone help to aid employees in updating their routers themselves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could either carry out the process yourself or your provider may do it for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, be sure to ask who controls the patching and the cycle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Conclusion<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organisations should be prepared for every contingency. Businesses that secure voice traffic are much more resilient than those that don&#8217;t do anything.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A reputed business phone service must maintain a secure calling environment, educate their users and fortify their internal networks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow these simple dos and don&#8217;ts to ensure your VoIP phone system is safe from data breaches, cyberattacks and phishing. You can maintain business continuity and have a competitive edge with secure VoIP connections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is an ideal, cost-effective solution that benefits businesses of all scales and sizes.\u00a0 The technology facilitates both inbound and outbound communication over the Internet.\u00a0 A VoIP phone system converts analogue voice signals to digital data packets and sends them over the broadband line.\u00a0 While the technology brings with it many [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":20028,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[184],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-5976","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-voice-voip"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.4 (Yoast SEO v26.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Do&#039;s and Don\u2019ts of VoIP Security | Acefone<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Strengthen your VoIP security.
