Podcast: SBC technology is more important to cloud networks, as we move forward in 2021

Greg Zweig, Director of Solutions Marketing at Ribbon Communications provides great insight into the trends established during 2020 including Over-The-Top services, Call Centers, UCaaS and CCaaS.

Those trends will drive a need for solutions in the future which include a robust SBC. While the SBC provides a cohesive element to the local and cloud-based communication services, it also provides security with real time encryption packet inspection and more.

Today’s SBC needs to monitor the data activity and make sure that no intrusion is made from unauthorized access. Since Voice and Data are now totally integrated on the same network, the voice traffic needs to be protected as much as the data traffic.

2020 has accelerated many changes which are currently taking place. Along with the migration of the PBX to the cloud, dial tone and the SBC are moving there as well. The SBC’s security function is moving to the cloud to protect the virtual enterprise network. Listen in to hear more about the Ribbon SBC’s future.
