ITEXPO WEST, LOS ANGELES – October 4, 2010 – Ingate® Systems, a leading provider of Enterprise Session Border Controllers (E-SBCs) that enable SIP communications such as SIP trunking and Unified Communications beyond the protected enterprise network, announced today that Intrusion Detection System/Intrusion Prevention System (IDS/IPS) solutions for SIP are now bundled as a free software module on most Ingate Firewall® and Ingate SIParator® products. Firewalls and SIParators already in use can be upgraded for free.
With IP attacks to steal VoIP service a genuine threat, weak passwords still providing an opportunity for malicious activity and the potential for overloading VoIP systems a possibility, IDS/IPS has become a crucial security measure for enterprise deployments of SIP. Ingate is giving its SIP IDS/IPS module to all users of Ingate Firewalls and SIParators to protect against attacks targeting SIP devices, such as IP-PBXs. IDS/IPS works in tandem with Ingate’s existing security technologies, further strengthening security for VoIP, SIP trunking, Unified Communications and other SIP applications.

Ingate is happy to continue to provide its customers with the highest level of protection for their LAN and IP-PBX, by making our SIP IDS/IPS module available free of charge to all our customers," said Steven Johnson, President, Ingate Systems.
