Telephony systems are crucial to business communications and operations and therefore need to be highly secure. Although malware and viruses are some of the most common threats to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) systems, there are other little-known threats too, such as denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.

When most of us think of cyberthreats, we think of viruses, Trojans, and ransomware. Unfortunately, those aren’t the only ones to look out for. One of the biggest threats to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) systems are denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, so if you have a VoIP system, you better read on.

If there’s one constant in the field of cyber-security, it’s that hackers will never stop looking for new ways to hurt your business. In the most recent development, they’ve set their sights on Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) systems. Technology administrators for hospitals, government entities, and small businesses need to be on alert for the possibility of damaging denial of service (DoS) to their communication system.
