Similar to any other business, VoIP businesses are prone to hack and fraud attacks. Some of the common threats in the VoIP industry are listed below:

Using a generic VoIP solution cannot help in staying safe. This is just an example. There are also circumstances when a manager would like to be updated for an event. Putting a manual resource to monitor live calls and data and updating manager on the occurrence of the predefined event is not only tedious, but also error prone.
