Community collaboration This cloud-based SBC deployment does not only provide security , but also facilitates the adoption of community led intelligence . Firstly , working together a community of organisations sharing breach information radically extends the number of touchpoints into hacking events , transforming understanding and insight into the ways in which hackers are looking to compromise companies . Secondly , each hacking attempt to compromise a specific customer environment creates a fingerprint . This fingerprint can then be used by the security vendor to create a security patch or update that will actively immunise every other user of the cloud-based SBC from being compromised with the same attack fingerprint .
This community model is particularly effective in highlighting and combating global attacks . An organisation operating single site security policies could be unaware that attacks are being launched simultaneously against multiple locations . With a global cloud-based SBC approach , the company will be made immediately aware of the scale of the global attack and therefore able to enforce policies that protect the entire environment against breach .
Security isn ’ t static , and the concept of ‘ working together we are stronger ’ is well proven . The ability to pool information and experience has proved key in the fight against a continuously evolving threat landscape . The difference today is that the threat landscape increasingly includes voice .
Working
together If the future of communication is software defined , the future of security must also be software defined . Cloud offers flexibility and scalability , while the adoption of software defined security also goes a long way in providing deep security intelligence that ’ s transformative . With growing consensus that the burden facing organisations attempting to fight security issues individually is simply too high , it ’ s clear that joining a specific community of companies willing to work together is a far more effective approach to locking down a business against new threats affecting voice and unified communications . n
