What is a Session Border Controller (SBC)

bavitay022
A Session Border Controller (SBC) is a specialized network device that ensures secure and efficient management of real-time communication sessions such as VoIP calls, video conferencing, and unified communications. Positioned at the edge of a network, it acts as a gatekeeper, managing the interaction between different networks while safeguarding data and ensuring quality.

Key Features of an SBC:
Security: Protects against cyber threats like fraud, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, and eavesdropping.
Protocol Translation: Enables seamless communication between systems using different signaling protocols.
