Secure communications have always been a focal point for most businesses, but until recently, many companies relied on outdated and ineffective privacy and security measures to secure information being transmitted over their networks.
Encryption is now essential thanks to the significant rise in cyber attacks. Global cyber attacks rose by 28% in the Q3 of 2022, a trend that’s been rapidly increasing in recent years. It’s clear all industries need enhanced security — and strong encryption is a powerful technology to improve your security posture.
Now, the majority of Over-The-Top (OTTs) are now prioritizing end-to-end encryption as their customers are increasingly aware of the importance of maintaining their privacy and security through secure communications.
Acrobits Cloud Softphone and our SDK are designed to provide you with all the functionality you need when developing your own application through our platform, complete with an award-winning security stack. We are already the chosen partner for security-orientated businesses such as NonPry and Simplefone, and our Acrobits “Z” encryption libraries are being used to protect the European Parliament from wiretapping.
Encryption Isn’t Optional
Today, encryption isn’t optional. External pressure from both governments (and their agencies), fraudsters, and subversive acts like corporate espionage have made it more important than ever. Your consumers expect their voice and video communications to be protected through every step of the communication process. Without adequate encryption, your user’s voice and video communications are susceptible to wiretapping and other threats.
Developing your own encryption system is costly and labour-intensive. It requires a thorough understanding of current encryption best practices, the various encryption systems available, and forces you to choose between publicly available systems and more-secure private options.
Cloud Softphone is already being used to protect the European Union government from wiretapping and by private corporations who understand the importance of end-to-end encryption. You can easily add advanced encryption functionality to any app that you design through our platform.
Why Choose Acrobits’ Award-Winning Encryption Libraries
Cloud Softphone has everything you need to provide your users with the end-to-end encryption that they expect. Our advanced encryption libraries are available to anyone that designs their app using Cloud Softphone or our SDK.Trusted by the European Union
Acrobits has developed its own proprietary encryption libraries that provide the same level of security trusted by the European Union and which offer enhanced privacy and security functionality to private corporations around the world. Acrobits leverages ZRTP, SRTP, and TLS encryption to keep private user data safe through every stage of the communication process, from the initial client-side hello, to the handshake and the establishment of a secured connection between users.A Safer Encryption Stack
Unlike other publicly-available encryption libraries, ours was developed privately and is unavailable to the public. Additionally, our ZRTP implementation was completed under the watchful eye of PGP creator and security expert Phil Zimmermann.Best in Class Security
In 2017, German forensic researchers ranked the Acrobits SIP library as one of the most secure available in the world, placing it above Signal, Linphone, Jitsi, and CSipSimple. Their findings concluded that our technology, along with Signal, was the only client that protected against shared MitM attacks.Prioritize Secure Communications to Protect Against Common Vulnerabilities
A vulnerability is any aspect of your organization that creates an opportunity for a cyber attack. Technologies involved in telecommunications have rapidly grown, but without the protections in place, each new device and technology can introduce a new vulnerability. A few common examples are:- Internet of Things (IoT) Vulnerabilities: Every industry has seen an explosion in IoT devices used throughout their company. Whether used to improve infrastructure monitoring or directly provided to end users, IoT devices can provide powerful benefits. However, without strong encryption, they create an attack vector for malicious actors to exploit.
- Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) Attacks: This specific category of cyberattacks can target any system and it’s a common way cybercriminals attempt to compromise telecom networks. A MITM attack involves a malicious attacker positioning themselves between end-users and an application. From there, they can eavesdrop and siphon data or directly impersonate your systems for a range of malicious activities. Acrobits ZRTP protocol guards against this type of attack.
- Service Misconfigurations: Misconfigured hardware and software that allow for a wide range of attacks, generally by creating opportunities for attackers to bypass your firewall. Encryption is an important aspect of properly configuring your entire network and identifying any other misconfigurations that may enable a detrimental vulnerability.
- Third-Party Vulnerabilities: Your vendors, partners, or clients introduce a range of vulnerabilities when their systems or permissions are compromised. A malicious actor trying to target your system may look to your partners for a backdoor. Strong encryption is your first line of defence against many of these vulnerabilities.
