VoIP Security

VoIP security tends to be lax or even non-existent compared to the measures routinely taken to protect other forms of data, such as records and emails. This is largely due to reasons already discussed along some important misconceptions.Security breaches along these lines could certainly be driven by monetary motives such as diverting customer payments, hacking into business bank accounts or even those of employees. Financial theft is really just one of three main types of security risks that can be exploited through your data network. Another type of hacking would be gaining access to other forms of data that competitors could use to undermine your business. One example would be gaining advance knowledge of your plans, such as a product launch, a patent filing, an acquisition, a plant closure, etc. Another would be stealing customer databases for purposes of poaching key accounts or spreading disinformation to drive your customers away. Unfortunately, there are plenty of companies that will not think twice about doing these things to either get ahead or not let new competitors into the market.

  1. VoIP phone service does seem to need more security. There are no penalties for hacking these.

  2. Security can be a problem with anything you do online. Internet phone services are pretty secure.

  3. I think security is relatively safe with the phone services we use. Make sure the things you do don't give private information.

  4. One of the best things about internet phones is that they will lower costs. You just need to find the right provider for your business.
