Sipera Systems announced that its award-winning UC-Sec enterprise communications security solution is undergoing compatibility testing with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator security management platform.

When the testing is completed, security managers can gain visibility into the entire spectrum of IP-based business communications -- including voice, video, data and web applications -- from a single central management point. This enables security managers to have unprecedented control over the security of voice-over-IP, IP video conferencing, SIP trunks, collaboration applications and other UC applications.

The Sipera UC-Sec appliance is a plug-and-play network device that provides comprehensive security for real-time UC applications. As a complement to the existing security architecture, the UC-Sec provides application-layer firewalling, intrusion prevention, threat mitigation, access control and policy enforcement in real-time for delay sensitive applications.

The UC-Sec encrypts UC-traffic, terminates SIP trunks, forks media and signaling for compliance, and permits an enterprise to safely and securely extend VoIP and UC to any end point in any location. Sipera's customers use the appliance to conduct secure VoIP on smartphones, in remote offices, to distributed call center representatives and to enforce security policies on all UC traffic in real-time.

The Sipera security system is undergoing compatibility testing as part of its participation in the McAfee® Security Innovation Alliance (SIA) program, which helps accelerate the development of interoperable security products and simplifies the integration of these products within complex customer environments.

Sipera's groundbreaking "Borderless UC" architecture enables all communications to be encrypted and compliant on any UC device, at any internal and external location.

cAfee ePolicy Orchestrator platform is the first to let enterprises and governments centrally manage security and compliance products from multiple vendors, offering unprecedented cost savings and return on investment. With more than 40,000 customers and managing more than 60 million PCs and servers, this unique platform is helping McAfee SIA partners to extend their reach and create complementary functionality.
