REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., June 17,
2020 /PRNewswire/ -- With a dependence on highly
reactive, legacy communications security solutions, contact centers
and enterprises are increasingly vulnerable to sophisticated
infrastructure attacks. To mitigate these threats, Oracle has
launched the Oracle Communications Security Shield (OCSS) Cloud, a
real-time communications security solution. Built on Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure, the solution uses artificial intelligence and the
real-time enforcement capabilities of Oracle Communications
Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) to determine the
risk of session initiated protocol-based communications crossing an
enterprise's network. By quickly detecting malicious call
signatures and behavioral anomalies, the OCSS Cloud can
autonomously mitigate dangerous network threats.
"Organizations that use AI-driven behavioral threat analytics
and cloud-based defenses, and that focus on
communications and collaboration threats, can contain
attacks 42% to 68% faster," says Johna Till
Johnson, chief executive officer and founder of Nemertes
Research. According to Nemertes' Cybersecurity and Cloud 2019-2020
Research Study, modern cybersecurity requires a holistic, automated
security approach that can both analyze data and enforce policies
in real-time.
Legacy security solutions offer limited protection due to their
dependence on static rule-based decision processes, passwords and
knowledge-based answers, making enterprises a prime target for
criminals and ill-equipped to take on Day-Zero
attacks. Oracle's Communications Security Shield Cloud
integrates advanced behavioral analytics, anomaly detection and
caller-reputation scoring to dynamically assess incoming call risk.
By monitoring this activity, enterprises can protect their
productivity, reputation and the bottom line through:
- Dynamic risk assessment: Calls are inspected, analyzed
and assessed quickly and efficiently though advanced analytics,
AI/ML and security capabilities such as user behavioral analytics,
threat signature detection and anomaly detection.
- 360° visibility: A comprehensive, intuitive dashboard
provides business intelligence driven data visualization of
real-time communications traffic, including an overview of
actionable insights for mitigating threats and traffic
anomalies.
- Real-time enforcement: Customizable enforcement policies
ensure the alignment of mitigation behaviors with organizations'
risk appetites.
Together, these capabilities enable real-time communications
traffic designed to be secure from cyber threats, such as telephony
denial of service attacks, nuisance calls, theft of service,
traffic pumping and account takeovers.
"Security threats to real-time enterprise
communications—especially unified communications and contact
centers—continue to rise," said Andrew
Morawski, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle
Communications, Networks. "With the latest in cloud-based AI/ML
capabilities, behavioral threat analytics and signature anomaly
detection methods, the Oracle Communications Security Shield Cloud
is a critical service to secure today's enterprise network."
