pbxnsip to Present Session on SIP Security at Internet Telephony Conference & EXPO

By Mae Kowalke, TMCnet Contributor

VoIP has great potential to make telephony both more affordable and introduce next-generation communications features. But, when added to networks, VoIP also can introduce security concerns.
 
One of the primary causes of VoIP-related network security breaches is the inability of firewalls to address the complexities of VoIP traffic and its accompanying SIP protocol.
 
This issue is the topic of a session titled “Securing SIP-Based Communications,” to be held at Internet Telephony Conference and EXPO West (in San Diego Oct. 10-13, 2006). The session, scheduled for Oct. 12 from 3:00 to 3:45 p.m., will be presented by Kevin Moroz, Vice President of Sales at pbxnsip.
 
“Securing SIP-Based Communications” is designed to help attendees gain a better understanding of the complexities of SIP-based communications, and the security violations that can be introduced by SIP—including DOS attacks, fraud, service theft, SPIT (spam over Internet telephony) and SPIM (spam over instant messaging).
 
Show attendees interested in learning more about VoIP, SIP and security can visit pbxnsip’s booth (#131) at IT EXPO. Even more information about this topic is available on pbxnsip’s TMCnet.com channel, IPBX.
