Ribbon Communications NetProtect

The Threat

Bad actors are constantly looking for ways to cause havoc either for monetary gains, to disrupt internal and external facing customer services, or just do reconnaissance into the entire corporate network. And, the rapid pace of growth for SIP-based real-time communications (RTC) has caught the attention of bad actors.

Solution

To address the numerous types of RTC threats, Ribbon Analytics NetProtect application is the answer for your communication network that cannot be secured at any individual device or application layer. NetProtect coordinates RTC protection at the IP, application, and call layers which changes how RTC security is implemented.

Ribbon Protect Platform

NetProtect leverages Ribbon’s Protect big data analytics platform to respond to real-time communications security and network quality incidents faster, more intelligently, and more efficiently. The heart of the Protect platform is its UC anomaly detection and policy mitigation capability. The anomaly detection module collects and analyzes data across the entire communications network which is then made available to Ribbon Analytics applications. With customer-defined policy management functionality, detected anomalies generate alerts (e.g. SMS, email) and can be mitigated with actions to the appropriate network elements in real-time.
