Vicidial has given  many security options to secure your server as below

• White List (ViciWhite)– Blocks all access except for IPs specifically defined in a ViciDial IP List
• Black List (ViciBlack)– Block any IP specifically defined in a ViciDial IP List (Defaults to SIP/IAX/RTC)
• Dynamic List (ViciBox Dynamic Portal)– Allows agents to manually authenticate with a portal to gain access to ViciDial
• VoIPBL – Community generated list of known SIP attackers, works the same as a Black List
