N.E.T. Addresses VoIP Security Issues with Webinar

Network Equipment Technologies, Inc. (N.E.T.) (NYSE:NWK) announced today that it will address issues of security in Voice over IP (VoIP) networks in a webinar tomorrow, offered free of charge to CIOs and network planners.

Entitled "VoIP and Security," the company notes that the issue of VoIP security among enterprises is at an all-time high, in part due to the rise of cyber attacks and the belief that a VoIP network can be easily intruded. In recent research by Infonetics, titled "User Plans for IP Voice," security was identified as the number one reason large organizations were stalling or avoiding the adoption of VoIP within their networks.

The company's SHOUT VoIP migration appliance (VMA) answers these concerns with an impressive offering of security features, including:

-- Rogue Packet Ejector -- a rock-solid firewall that prevents direct denial of service (DDOS) attacks that can bring down an IP network

-- BESTFlow Voice Tunneling -- a highly efficient voice transport mechanism that also delivers a guaranteed superior level of security to all voice traffic

-- MD5 Authentication -- challenges devices that are attempting to call the network and verifying responses against an internal table or an external database to prevent spoofing and phishing

-- Transport Layer Security -- prevents tracing and trapping of a voice stream to guard identity and information by encrypting the open SIP signaling

-- Secure Real Time Protocol -- provides encryption of real-time protocol media streams

-- Firewall and NAT Traversal -- voice traffic can traverse existing firewall and NAT solutions enabling enterprises to run VoIP over their existing data infrastructure without having to update or replace their security devices or policies

The presentation will be delivered by Soheil Eizadi, N.E.T.'s chief scientist on Thursday, September 15, 2005 at 9:00 a.m. PDT. To register, go to www.net.com.
