Common VoIP Security Threats to Watch

VoIP technology offers convenience and cost savings but also introduces serious security threats. Common VoIP vulnerabilities include eavesdropping, call interception, phishing attacks, and toll fraud. Hackers can exploit unsecured networks to access confidential communications or launch denial-of-service (DoS) attacks that disrupt voice services. Without proper encryption, voice data is at risk of being intercepted. Weak passwords and outdated software increase exposure to cyberattacks. To protect your VoIP infrastructure, businesses must implement strong security protocols, regular updates, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems.
