The explosive growth of the VoIP market, has compelled security vendors to look for solutions to harden VoIP installations for their clients. When Salare Security recently announced its vPurity solution to address VoIP security, one OEM Security vendor jumped at the opportunity to license it to protect its clients from the increasing security risks of VoIP that require mitigation.

vPurity OEM software was licensed to that OEM Security vendor in the second quarter of 2009. Details of the size of the licensing deal and the specific vendor are being withheld due to a non-disclosure agreement in place between Salare and the licensed company. "We see such an explosive growth of VoIP vulnerabilities and a massive array of potential covert channels that we had to rapidly expand our set of solutions. The best way to get our solution to the market is through these strategic partnerships," said Karen Letain, VP Marketing for Salare Security.

Salare's vPurity software works to stop the theft of electronic information using three key proprietary technologies: FlowSpect software, vTect software, and Active Network Behavior Analysis. FlowSpect software identifies the type of data payload that flows through a transmission without the use of traditional deep packet inspection and avoids the individual privacy concerns of deep packet inspection approaches. vTect software identifies data flow types based on observations about how packets flow through the transmission by examining very high-level statistical characteristics about the transmission's packets. Active Network Behavior Analysis finds malicious transmissions by pro-actively stimulating expected or unexpected responses from the transmissions. Combined together these technologies provide very robust protection against the theft of electronic information.
