Who’s listening to your phone calls?

Simple to use and cost effective, VoIP (Voice over IP) solutions have taken the communications world by storm. But with this increase in popularity come serious security issues. The problem with VoIP calls is the very thing that makes them so popular: they travel over the Internet. Because of this simplicity, VoIP calls can be intercepted at two points: the call setup and the call data flow.

Every small business owner knows that new technology can be pricey. But technology can also pay in the form of significant savings-particularly over the long haul. Savings from technology isn’t just a matter of plugging in a new gizmo and watching the cash roll in.
