Converged networks require converged security that expands traditional data security policies and procedures to protect the privacy of all network information, including IP telephony traffic. Traditional data security practices can impact IP telephony voice quality if not engineered correctly. So, a converged network must be designed to comply with IT security policies while not impeding the performance of critical network applications.

 

ConvergedIPnetworksecurity from Avaya starts with an assessment to identify network “gaps” that can be exploited by an attacker. With security policy development, we define the procedures, responsibilities, controls and security measures required to protect assets in a converged environment. Our security architecture and design service brings Avaya expertise to the complex task of designing a secure information infrastructure and ensures that the security measures defined in a policy are designed into the security framework.

 

The combination of IPnetworksecurity policies and security assessments creates a foundation that enables enterprises to plan, implement, and manage the comprehensive architecture and controls needed for protection in a convergednetwork. This ensures secure and continuous communications, while improving Quality of Service (QoS), and the ability to maintain and monitor multi-vendor, converged networks and applications. Creating policies and performing assessments also provides the framework to allow business to comply with security and privacy regulations, such as Sarbanes-Oxley, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, HIPAA, and Basel II.
