The security context has evolved a lot nowadays both in terms of threats and use. The proliferation of peripherals, digitization and mobility are all new practices that impact the security of unified communications. It becomes more than crucial to pay close attention to your communications.

Security by design, a fundamental principle applied to the security of Cisco unified communications
Security is not a negligible brick at Cisco and this is why it is thought out upstream of the design of unified communications and enterprise telephony (ToIP) products and solutions. Based on this principle, we can only salute the relentlessness with which the San José firm protects all its solutions.
As the number of fixed and mobile connected terminals is constantly increasing, the risks of attack are multiplied, forcing companies to strengthen their security system . This also concerns unified communications through which most sensitive data passes.
For once, let's start with what annoys other players in the unified communications market. And let's see further how Cisco stands out with its new security model based on a unique architectural approach. Indeed, the equipment manufacturer is the only manufacturer to date to offer end-to-end systemic security.
On the occasion of Documation-MIS 2015, Fabien Médat, Technical Director of Collaboration Cisco France at that time, gave us a very complete summary of the Cisco offer in Unified Communications and collaboration solutions. We highly recommend this video which takes stock of the essentials, whether or not you are familiar with the solutions of the San José firm.
This video should be compared to this other reference video, in which José Martinez, then Cisco Security Director Southern Europe, reviewed the Cisco security model .
If you are interested or already know Cisco's approach to security, you will not be surprised by the incessant reminder of the fundamentals that drive the teams of the San Jose firm: security is addressed upstream of all solutions. . This allows them in the current regulatory context to be in compliance with the GDPR. You will also be interested in the article we wrote on this subject: GDPR, how to bring the security of your business into compliance with the regulations?
Unified communications security, an argument to remove the last obstacles to adoption?
Some CIOs are still taking their time to integrate unified communications in the cloud in France. We were already talking about it in this article dedicated to unified communications solutions in the Cloud . The UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) yet include all communication tools into a single system, while the Cloud ensures a monthly payment for the use and self-service resources .
IT departments looking to implement a unified communications cloud solution often face a psychological barrier from management when it comes to data security and privacy. This, even though the level of security goes far beyond the company's expectations. How to explain that some companies are still reluctant to switch to Unified Communications?
It is also useful to remember that unified communications are changing the way structures work. The so-called "vertical" companies, that is to say with a very pronounced hierarchy, may have difficulty adapting to this culture of horizontal communication . The question of price also comes up regularly. However, savings are often the key word in the adoption of these new means of communication.
