If you think Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) security is simply about setting a strong password, think again. In 2025, threats against VoIP systems have become more sophisticated, necessitating advanced safeguards and strategies. But don’t fret.
Passwords have been a staple of online security for decades, but relying on them alone is no longer enough. Cybersecurity experts now emphasize the importance of adding layers of protection to defend against today’s more advanced threats.
Why your security strategy must go beyond passwords
Cybersecurity experts at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) now warn that passwords are fundamentally vulnerable and should be avoided whenever possible.
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone systems make business communication easier, cheaper, and more flexible than traditional phone lines. But with those benefits come risks, from data theft to call hijacking. The good news is that protecting your system doesn’t require deep technical knowledge.
As more companies embrace remote and hybrid work, reliable communication tools have become essential. Traditional phone systems often limit flexibility and add unnecessary costs. Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) solutions bridge those gaps, providing a secure, cloud-based way to manage voice, video, and chat from anywhere.
