i. General Security Features required
1. Should maintain a separate network/VPN for SIP service and local network.
2. No computer/client should be connected to both SIP service and local networks without any
proper security measures.
3. Any system which is connected with both SIP service and local networks should not have any
access to Internet.
4. Any such system which is connected to both SIP service and local networks should avoid
running any other services with corresponding listening ports opened or should have only
limited access to local network.
5. Install a SBC to have better SIP layer security.
6. IP-PBX SIP Service network and network used to configure & maintain IP-PBX/Associated
devices must be in separate network/VPN. Login to such servers/system should be through
console only. There should not be system login from the configuration & maintenance network
or SIP Service network.
7. Change the default SIP port from 5060 to some generic port.
8. Do not flash any banner with the version number of the software used in any of the login or
login pages of IP-PBX and SBC.
9. Proper firewall should be installed to allow only legitimate traffic inside.
10. All windows PCs should be updated regularly on second Tuesday of every month when
patches are released from Microsoft.

12. All types of PBX used should be updated to the latest security patch with proper support from
the OEM.
13. All types of PBX with the version used should be reported to BSNL. Any upgrade also need to

ii. Precautions to be taken while using Asterisk PBX for SIP Trunk:
Asterisk has many security vulnerabilities which are well documented. Not applying proper patch
for the vulnerabilities is an easy target for hackers.
1. Change the 5060 default sip port of your server to a different one and make sure to configure
the extension clients accordingly as well.
2. If you don't have any remote extensions, allow access to your servers for local user
extensions only. You can find here (http://www.voip-
info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+sip+permit-deny-mask) an example to limit SIP traffic
to and from a peer to a certain IP or network
3. If you have remote extensions, change the passwords with stronger passwords for these
extensions.
4. If you are an advanced user, use tools to protect your server from random password attacks
like Fail2Ban. Fail2ban scans log files and bans IP addresses that make repeated,
unsuccessful password attempts.

5. Update your server to latest version for security fixes.
