Session Border Controllers for Enterprises

In today’s hybrid work environments, security and interoperability need to be proactively managed, assuring that employees can work from anywhere by securely connecting to different networks (and different network elements from a variety of vendors). Ribbon Session Border Controllers (SBCs) are designed and tested to provide the most robust SIP security and interoperability, regardless of location or deployment environment. Ribbon offers cloud-based security solutions, virtualized SBC software, and traditional hardware appliances.

Ribbon’s solutions are tested with Microsoft Teams Direct Routing, Zoom, Ring Central, and Cisco BYOC solutions, as well as many other cloud-based unified communications solutions. They are also tested with popular cloud-based contact centers from Genesys, Five9, Nice InContact, and more. Ribbon also has the benefit of hundreds of thousands of existing deployments worldwide, meaning our solutions are deployed with Avaya, Asterisk, Mitel, Cisco, Avaya, and countless other brands of PBXs and contact centers. 

Ribbon has solutions deployed in every size organization, from neighborhood small businesses to the most security-conscious global financial institutions. The breadth of Ribbon’s portfolio makes it ideal for multi-site businesses; we can combine together our largest carrier-grade solutions for large campuses with our cost-effective solutions for branch offices. Ribbon solutions create a secure “communications superhighway” to integrate different brands and generations of communications solutions.

Detailed information on Ribbon’s SBC choices can be found on each product page including common deployment options such as:
