Understanding Security Profiles
Cisco Unified IP Phones that support Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7.0 or later use a security
profile, which defines whether the phone is nonsecure, authenticated, or encrypted. For information
about configuring the security profile and applying the profile to the phone, refer to Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Security Guide.
To view the security mode that is set for the phone, look at the Security Mode setting in the Security
Configuration menu. For more information, see the
