"Enterprises depend upon voice, data and video to perform their business activities and requirements for these are growing and so is the need for convergence of these technologies. This is also opening up security holes which can endanger the very existance of an enterprise. BorderWare's firewalls are ideal for today's converging messaging solutions."

This framework consolidates messaging security by bringing together the perimeter controls for all commonly used messaging applications. The framework includes security for SIP-based applications, including VoIP, Instant Messaging, Video Conferencing and other real-time interactive applications, for email, and for browser-based applications. The framework puts the CSO and the IT director back in control by delivering integrated threat analysis and reporting across the complete set of applications.
