With VoIP (computer phone), Instant Messaging (IM) services, and
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems experiencing increased security breaches,
combined with the inability to include customers operating from dial up
connections, 3WTel Superior VoIP is lightyears ahead of its
competition.
(PRWEB) March 5, 2005 -- Resulting from 3WTel Superior VoIP’s recently
set World Record on Dial Up connection, this Irish company is experiencing
exponential growth as it draws worldwide attention with patented VoIP
security for customers. Headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, the company is
projecting in excess of one million new customers by year end.
With
VoIP (computer phone), Instant Messaging (IM) services, and Peer-to-Peer
(P2P) systems experiencing increased security breaches, combined with the
inability to include customers operating from dial up connections, 3WTel
Superior VoIP is lightyears ahead of its
competition.
Unfortunately, the next-generation communications era
is being given a black eye by negligent providers who throw security to
the wind in their mad rush to make a quick buck. The carnage of innocent
victims is strewn across the Internet.
Over 90% of VoIP solution
providers operate on publicly open and accessible platforms using industry
standard codec and protocols. In so doing, they create a customer
vulnerability to worms, viruses, Trojan horses, as well as access to
personal and confidential information (aka Identity
Theft).
VoIP-News.com reported that “Siemens have been telling
hundreds of telecoms and IT specialists the ways criminals steal packets
of voice data from converged and data networks, so they can eavesdrop on
corporate calls.”
Peer-to-peer networks (P2P) is comparable to the
old telephone party lines, however with a dark side. Peer-to-peer systems
create a particular vulnerability, not only to security, but also in its
software, as it enables others, including unscrupulous entities, to access
a user’s computer and files.
Trinity College Cambridge recently
issued the following warning to students and faculty. “The IP telephony
program Skype (including SkypeOut) must not be used …for the following
reasons…Skype uses peer-to-peer technology and as such is banned from
being used….”
The University of Texas recently warned its faculty
and students…”Most P2P applications you install will usually be configured
so other users can access your hard drive and share your files all of the
time…”
Also included on the list of growing security issues is
Instant Messaging (IM) services, as computer firewalls do not incorporate
protection for instant messaging.
A report dated February 11, 2005
titled “MSN Messenger Worm Spreads”, by Scarlet Pruitt of IDG New
Services, stated that, “Security experts have raised the warning level on
a worm that spreads via Microsoft's MSN Messenger, in an effort to slow
its crawl through Taiwan, Korea, China, and the U.S.”
Paul Roberts
of IDG News Services reported on February 11, 2005, entitled “Microsoft
Warns customers about exploits for new flaws” stated that, “The company
issued a statement on its Web site Thursday (February 10, 2005) citing an
increased risk to users of its Windows operating system MSN Messenger
instant messenger (IM) application and Office XP software
suite.”
As we experience this paradigm shift in communications,
with 75% of the world expected to use VoIP within 3-4 years, the
population desperately needs to be educated on how to avoid further
victimization.
VoIP providers who:
(1) Use a proprietary
high end encryption codec (not industry standards)
(2) Operate on
proprietary patented technology (not others)
(3) Are hosted in their
own professional facility (not others)
create a built in security
for its users, thus providing the most efficient solution that eliminates
peer-to-peer nightmares and unwelcome visits by instant messaging
mercenaries.
When a VoIP service provider operates on their own
proprietary patented technology, the Instant Message feature is
incorporated in their security, thus offering a viable solution to
computer firewalls which cannot incorporate protection. Because these VoIP
service providers make security a priority, they would not be operating on
a peer-to-peer (P2P) system.
