Sipera's UC-Sec security solution testing with McAfee's ePO

Unified Communications security specialist Sipera Systems says its UC-Sec enterprise communications security solution is being tested for compatibility with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO) security management platform.

The testing is part of its participation in the McAfee Security Innovation Alliance program, which helps accelerate the development of interoperable security products and simplifies the integration of these products within customer environments.

The UC-Sec appliance is a plug-and-play network device asked to provide security for real-time UC applications; it complements existing security architecture, providing application-layer firewalling, intrusion prevention, threat mitigation, access control and policy enforcement in real-time.

The device 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.

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.

"When UC-Sec achieves compatibility with the ePolicy Orchestrator platform, enterprises will be able to easily manage UC and smartphone security within their McAfee security management systems," said Andy Asava, Vice President of Business Development at Sipera.  "This testing, and our participation in the McAfee SIA program, will help enterprises more easily adopt desktop-based and mobile UC applications, ensure compliance with industry security and privacy mandates, and streamline overall security management."

The McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator platform is the first to let enterprises and governments centrally manage security and compliance products from multiple vendors
