Ways To Prevent Your VoIP System From Being Hacked

It seems that hackers are discovering new ways to hack into different systems--including VoIP phone systems. Do not despair! There are precautions you can take to ensure that your VoIP phone system is not vulnerable to these attacks. Keep reading to discover what they are.

Have A Separate Data Network
For starters, it is a good idea to have a data network that is separate from your VoIP phone system. Doing this makes it more difficult for hackers to infiltrate the VoIP system. In return, the VoIP system should receive fewer threats and intrusions from hackers. 

Use A Unique Password
Easy passwords are easy to remember. Nonetheless, they make it easier to hackers to get access to the VoIP system. To avoid this scenario, use a unique password that contains numbers, capitalized letters and symbols. That way, hackers will not be able to guess the password through trial and error. 

Encrypt VoIP Packets
Hackers will be very disappointed if they hack into your VoIP system, only to discover that the information is encrypted. However, this is a good thing for you! After all, if they cannot understand the encrypted data, they will have no use for it.
