Avaya Session Border Controller Advanced for Enterprise (SBCAE)
The Avaya SBCAE is essentially a much more advanced version of the SBCE. Boasting all of the features of the Avaya SBCE,
this product adds UC security functionality in three key:
• Access Control: Provides secure authentication and therefore VPN-less secure access for off-net workers. Without going
into large amounts of technical detail here – which could be largely beyond the comprehension of the audience – the
key from a sales perspective is how this feature relates to and helps to enable other key areas of the portfolio. Consider
for a moment Avaya Flare for iPad. You’re sitting in Starbucks, drinking your Americano and you’re connected to the free
WiFi. You are about to make use of the Flare technology to hop on a conference call but wait!! Where is the VPN client
to connect you to the corporate communications network to allow you to use Flare?? With access control, users can be
authenticated onto the network without the need to VPN technology and clients to be present. The benefit here is to allow
much quicker, easier deployment and take up of applications such as Flare and one-X Communicator
• Threat Mitigation: This is all about ensuring that the enterprise communications network is protected from those
unscrupulous individuals who would use ‘spoofed’ SIP communications in order to gain access to and carry out an attack.
Attacks can be many and varied and will, at the very least ensure that the business experiences downtime and disruption.
The SBCE mitigates against these attacks.
• Policy Enforcement: This help a business meet and exceed its compliance requirements. For example, where there is a
need to ensure recording of calls, the SBCE can continue to protect the Enterprise UC infrastructure whilst ensuring that
traffic is not impeded by working with the chosen recording application. This can also ensure that policies governing what
users can access in terms of the network can also be enforced when connecting remotely.
