Description
Permitting hardware Voice Video Endpoints to browse the internet or enterprise intranet freely opens the endpoint to the possibility of inadvertently downloading malicious code to the endpoint for which it may have no protection. Voice Video Endpoints typically do not support host based intrusion detection or anti-virus software. While the downloaded malicious code might not affect the endpoint itself, the endpoint could be used by the malicious code as a launching pad into the network and attached workstations or servers.
