Investing in Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology can help your business save on communication costs, but you can take a big bite out of those savings if you don't consider its security as a top priority. Unprotected VoIP systems and devices may be harming your business without you knowing it, so it’s crucial to implement these security measures now.

Here are five tips to secure your company’s internet-based communication devices and services.
