Cybersecurity Month: Keeping Your Communications Safe

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and with today’s ever-evolving digital threats, it's more important than ever to secure your business communications, especially if you rely on VoIP. At TeleVoIPs, protecting your conversations, data, and network is at the core of what we do.

This week, we’re highlighting how VoIP users can stay safe and how our solutions help support that mission.

Why Cybersecurity Matters for VoIP

Voice over IP (VoIP) systems are more than just internet-based phone services; they’re the gateway to your business conversations. But like any system connected to the internet, VoIP can be a target for cyber threats such as:

• Call hijacking
• Toll fraud
• Phishing through voicemail or text
• Unauthorized access
• Data breaches via call recordings or transcriptions

If your phone system isn’t properly secured, attackers can exploit vulnerabilities to steal sensitive data, impersonate your staff, or rack up enormous international call fees.

How TeleVoIPs Protects Your Communications

We’ve built security into the foundation of our service. Here’s how:

• Intelligent Call Routing & Access Controls: Our systems are configured to restrict international and high-risk traffic by default. Plus, we offer access controls by IP and location to prevent unauthorized use.
• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Users logging into the TeleVoIPs platform can be required to verify their identity through MFA, reducing the risk of account breaches.
• Real-Time Monitoring & Alerts: Our systems track anomalies in call behavior, flag suspicious activity, and alert our team, often before clients notice anything wrong.

What You Can Do: Best Practices for Your Business

Here are a few simple but effective steps your team can take to stay protected:

• Use Strong Passwords on all VoIP devices and user accounts
• Limit Admin Access to only those who need it
• Keep Devices Updated with firmware and apps
• Set Up Call Restrictions for high-cost destinations

Cybersecurity isn’t one-and-done;  it’s ongoing. At TeleVoIPs, we constantly evaluate and enhance our platform’s security posture. From routine audits to client-specific risk reviews, we’re committed to giving you peace of mind.
