In order to provide comprehensive security, all traffic going into and out of the network should be monitored. Security applications and appliances have to scan and monitor for malware, data leakage, and other threats. With Unified Communications, the threat landscape is a little bigger and a little different. It is as important as ever to monitor traffic and maintain security, but unified communications demand higher bandwidth and QoS (Quality of Service) requirements than standard data traffic, making it an even greater challenge to secure and protect a UC environment while maintaining voice quality. Join Jason Ostrom, Director of the Sipera VIPER Lab, and Eric Winsborrow, Chief Marketing Officer for Sipera Systems and moderator, Erik Lanask, Group Managing Editor at Technology Marketing Corporation, on Tuesday, July 22 at 11:00am ET/ 8:00am PT.
