Sonus Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONS), a global leader in secure
and intelligent Cloud communications, announced today that the
Sonus Session Border Controller Software edition (SBC SWe) was
named a 2016 "Cloud Computing Security Excellence Award" winner by
Cloud Computing magazine.
One of the chief causes of delay, or even rejection, of Cloud
migration has been security. As customers move real-time
communications to the Cloud, the SBC SWe provides a Cloud-optimized
approach for security, delivering the same robust experience as
hardware-based SBCs. The innovative solution acts as a real-time
firewall for Cloud networks, protecting Unified Communications (UC)
against data breaches, Denial of Service (DoS) and SIP-based
attacks. Running truly in the Cloud - no proprietary hardware or
physical digital signaling processors are required to support any
of the SBC SWe's features, including encryption and
transcoding.
Free Webinar:
To continue educating the marketplace, Sonus will co-host a
webinar with AT&T and Heaving Reading on November 16, 2016 at 11:00
am ET to discuss more technical requirements for real-time
communications in the Cloud. Live attendees of this webinar will
receive a $5 Amazon® gift
card for participating. * This webinar will discuss:
- How the adoption of a microservices architecture increases
scale, performance and flexibility;
- How to leverage Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) for media
transcoding; and
- The benefits of a complete Cloud solution.
Register here for the "Real-Time Communications in the
Cloud – Dismantling Cloud Myths with Innovation" webinar.

Quotes:
"Security is a concern on-premises and in the
Cloud, but the latter magnifies the situation," said Kevin Riley, CTO and SVP, Engineering and
Operations, Sonus. "Either way, if a bad actor can access an
organization through an unsecure real-time service, they can then
move laterally into other mission critical areas of the business.
Every application is equally important to protect and, with the SBC
SWe, organizations can ensure their real-time communications are
secure."
"Recognizing leaders in the advancement of Cloud computing, TMC
and Cloud Computing magazine are proud to announce Sonus as a
recipient of the Cloud Computing Security Excellence Award for its
SBC SWe," said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. "Sonus is being honored for
its achievement in bringing innovation and excellence to the
market, while leveraging the latest technology trends."
Other Facts:
- In an independent third-party test, the Sonus SBC SWe
successfully handled sustained DoS attacks, high call overloads and
registration floods with no negative impact on SBC performance or
call quality. The SBC SWe also provided no loss of system
performance at full endpoint capacity during a registration
avalanche.
