Sipera says its security solutions help ensure credit card privacy

VoIP and Unified Communications security specialist Sipera Systems said its security solutions will help users meet the new guidance issued by the industry council for payment card privacy.

Earlier this month, the PCI Security Standards Council issued new guidance to protect credit card and payment card information in telephone-based transactions, including VoIP, advising businesses that handle credit cards to ensure the privacy and encryption of VoIP communications carrying cardholder data, and to control archiving and monitoring of these communications in compliance with PCI Data Security Standard rules.

"Many in the security community have recently focused on VoIP and Unified Communications application security as essential for safeguarding financial transactions of all kinds," said Adam Boone, Sipera's VP of market and product management. "The new guidance regarding payment card privacy is a critical development in this area, because VoIP communications are widespread and are now a favored target of hackers and fraudsters."

Pre-integrated and interoperable with enterprise VoIP infrastructure from most manufacturers, Sipera's UC-Sec provides an application-layer security architecture for VoIP and UC.
