Why Voice Security is Important?

  • Headsets, the overlooked attack surface: Headsets and speakerphones are not “accessories” but endpoints; unmanaged, consumer devices create firmware risk, audio leakage, and zero management capability, especially in hybrid work.
  • Secure by design: Jabra devices like the Engage Series are engineered as secure endpoints with controlled firmware, no unnecessary data storage, policy-driven configuration, and alignment with government‑grade security expectations.
  • The time to ‘Engage’ is now: Jabra’s Engage wireless headsets utilise DECT technology that operates on a specific frequency band to deliver secure, high-quality digital audio for UC mobility within a defined area. Featuring military-grade encryption between the headset and its base.

3 ways to close your email signature compliance gap

  • Governance is Expanding Beyond Email: Regulators are looking past standard email and breach response to review all digital channels, including AI tools and mobile devices that generate hard-to-control content.
  • Compliance Gaps Create Audit Risks: While most agencies have data security covered, many lack proper communications governance, leaving them exposed to audits regarding privacy laws, WCAG accessibility standards, and inconsistent disclaimers.
  • Centralized Control is the Solution: The session teaches IT managers how to close these gaps by centrally enforcing communication standards across every department and device without relying on manual updates.
