First, ensure that all Digital Voice traffic is encrypted. There are multiple options here including VPNs and SRTP (Secure RTP), but make sure that the selected encryption method is efficient and fast. Otherwise, performance and throughput may be negatively impacted. Second, actively monitor for unauthorized or non-compliant technologies supporting the Digital Voice network. This includes identifying devices with non-standard configurations. Third, make Digital Voice servers physically secure by adopting technologies such as firewalls and intrusion detection. Be sure to use firewalls that can handle the unique attributes of Digital Voice traffic. Finally, require all users to login to access the Digital Voice network. A Digital Voice handset should be treated no differently than a user’s computer where network access is governed by login and password.
