Award-Winning UC-Sec Solution Earns Common Criteria Certification, First UC Security and SIP Trunk Solution Meeting Standard
LONDON, September 9, 2010 - Sipera Systems, the leader in real-time Unified Communications (UC)
enablement and security, today announced its groundbreaking UC-Sec solution
is the first UC security solution to achieve Common Criteria certification,
meeting the stringent international security standard for IT products.
Recognized by 26 nations around the world, Common Criteria certification
represents a global standard for IT security and validates products and
company processes through independent testing and evaluation.
UC-Sec is now the world's only Common Criteria certified product for: - Terminating SIP Trunks on enterprise premises. - Extending UC applications safely and securely to any device in any location over any network. - Providing application-layer security for UC, including VoIP, video, messaging and collaboration tools, in a single platform. - Providing enterprise core network security, including IP PBX protection, VLAN separation, and compliance enforcement, including forking of signalling and media for monitoring and recording.
UC-Sec is certified to the EAL 3+ level. Common Criteria certification is
often a mandatory requirement for government entities as well as enterprises
that value security of communications and data.
"This critical certification reflects both Sipera's UC security market
leadership position, and our commitment to providing unparalleled security
for government and other security-conscious customers around the world," said
John Lochow, President and CEO of Sipera. "By satisfying the government
security assurance requirements encompassed by the Common Criteria, Sipera
can assure its customers that our UC-Sec appliances have been independently
tested and meet precise industry security standards."
Sipera's UC-Sec appliances proactively address security risks associated
with UC applications such as VoIP, instant messaging, IP video and
collaboration tools, enabling government agencies and enterprise customers to
adopt UC applications and apply comprehensive security. Sipera's
groundbreaking "Borderless UC" architecture enables all communications to be
