[VOIPSEC] Query on typical SBC implementation

[Tim Mehmet]

Behind for sure.

Even though some vendors claim to be a full blown firewall, the security
measures tend to be for voip services and many lack the ability to
defend themselves like a full blown firewall (specially from a
management perspective).

I have talked with various vendors and most have informed me that their
customers all feel the need to put the SBC behind a firewall.

Having reviewed some SBC's from security standpoint, I would concur.
