Upgrade Information

The following topics provide important information you need to know the before an Oracle® Communications Security Shield Cloud Service (Security Shield) upgrade. For some releases, you might need to perform certain tasks before the upgrade.

New Version

For enabling your Session Border Controller or Session Router to pull policy updates from Security Shield for calls, you must upgrade to the relevant S-Cx release and patch levels. SCz9.1.0p6 (or higher, when on 9.1.x release) or SCz9.2.0p1 (or higher, when on 9.2.x release). See your Customer Support Representative for more information.

Older Versions

Older versions rely on Security Shield pushing updates to your session Border Controller or Session Router in separate API calls originated by Security Shield. The pulling capabilities allow you to simplify your network configuration, including firewalls and proxies, because you do not need to create pinholes that might allow unexpected API calls to reach your network.
