Anti-virus for CUCM, CUC, CCX, IMP

[O.Zang]

Hello Expert,

Is it possible to install an antivirus on cisco cucm, CUC, CCX, IMP?

[Adam Pawlowski]

No, it is not, they are closed appliances

[Dennis Mink]

unfortunately not, there is no such option, yes these are linux redhat boxes, but you dont have root access to install. this is simply not supported by Cisco

[Jaime Valencia]

Or CentOS for 12.x+, but it's still the same answer.

[Giovanni Ceci]

Our customer raised this question to us as well. I tried to find some reference documentation (i.e. CUCM Security guide), but no luck. Does any exist out there?

Thanks,

John

you can do "Security Hardening" on CUCM & other cisco VoiP servers..
google about it, you will find very useful information..
