Subject: call for speakers and thoughts on VoIP Security - there's a long way to go! There's no question that VoIP Security is a BIG issue. Most management surveys say that it's the first or second reason given for why companies are delaying on VoIP. VoIPSA is certainly a resource, as NIST. They publish a free report (it's really a 100 page book) on Securing VoIP and it's probably the best guide in the industry. It's also a great VoIP primer and best of all, you've already paid for it in your tax dollars so you can download it at no cost. (The administration has not reclassified it as top secret yet) It's at: http://www.csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-58/SP800-58-final.pdf We've also completed a video podcast on VoIP available to the industry at: www.ip3inc.com/webinars.htm The most important lessons here are the recommendations to avoid soft phones and to segment VoIP on a VLAN will prevent many of the desired voip benefits so the security frameworks don't map to reality. If you'd like to present your work in this field or just learn a more about VoIP security join us at the Second Annual Voip Security Conference hosted by IP3 and Illinois Institute of Technology: Call for Speakers and Sponsors The 2nd Annual Managing VoIP Security Conference (MVSC 2006) May 17-18, 2006 IIT- Illinois Institute of Technology Herman Union Building- Conference Center Chicago, Illinois, USA www.voip-wifi.net or visit: www.ip3seminars.com/conf.htm thanks KWK
