Ensuring secure communications for your collaborative peripherals

In secure environments, unmanaged audio paths represent a persistent and often underestimated vulnerability. Always-on microphones, softphone applications, and USB-connected peripherals can introduce avenues for inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure by placing sensitive operations at risk of compromise.

 

Push-to-Talk (PTT) capabilities provide a hardware-enforced control framework for secure voice communications. With PTT, audio transmission is limited to deliberate user action and eliminates background conversations from being unintentionally overhead. Organizations can get this layer of off-hook security by adding a PTT handset or a CIS Secure TSG-compliant PTT headset to our portfolio of TSG-approved VoIP phones. 

 

When PTT technology is coupled with a CIS Secure TSG-approved positive disconnect device, we can ensure physical isolation of microphones and speakers when not actively engaged or on-hook. CIS Secure extends off-hook security for softphone users through our USB-based PTT peripherals such as headsets and a USB desk phone. Leveraging our purpose-built PTT solutions provides a defensible, auditable method for securing voice communications in controlled areas.
