STARFACE

STARFACE at a glance

STARFACE is a German IP-PBX and unified-communications platform, common in SMBs and via system integrators. STARFACE ships regular updates plus security fixes; as a communications system often reachable from the network, timely patching and hardening matter.

For admins updates run through the STARFACE administration; take a backup before larger updates and read the release notes. Keep management access restricted, secure SIP and the web/app access, and follow the vendor's hardening guidance, since a PBX is a valuable target (toll fraud, eavesdropping). Verify trunks, extensions and the clients after updates. Watch the version and its support status. Being a DACH-focused product, documentation and support are German-first; patchletter surfaces new releases so security-relevant updates aren't missed.
