Enterasys Networks today announced that John Roese, the company's chief technology officer, will be a featured speaker at this week's Internet Telephony Conference & EXPO at the Miami Hyatt Regency Hotel. Roese is known as an authority on networking and security, holding multiple patents, and authoring of industry standards. He specializes on Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), wireless technology and machine-to-machine communications.
Roese will be presenting a session called IP Telephony for the Large Scale Enterprise, during which he will discuss the business benefits of VoIP and related convergence technologies and how these applications require powerful network security. Scheduled for this Tuesday, February 22 at noon, the session will emphasize how security embedded in the network infrastructure helps enterprises avoid the business-crippling effects of internal and external threats that quickly can bring down data and voice communications on a converged network.
"As VoIP deployments increase exponentially, so too do a wide range of current and emerging threats. Identifying and mitigating these security risks is a critical concern that many organizations continue to face," said Roese. "Enterasys Secure Networks solutions enable enterprises to deal effectively with these risks so they can maintain business continuity and productivity. In addition to delivering the highest levels of infrastructure performance and security, Enterasys is a charter member of VOIPSA--a cross-industry group dedicated to helping organizations understand and avoid VoIP security threats."
Internet Telephony Conference & EXPO is a targeted and innovative four-day conference and tradeshow offering a comprehensive education for selecting and deploying VoIP solutions. IP telephony voice and data products offer businesses and telecommunications service providers a lower-cost, more feature-rich alternative to traditional telecom services.
"We are very pleased that John will be participating in this year's show. Enterasys Networks is widely recognized and respected as an industry leader, and I am confident that our attendees will appreciate and value the opportunity to hear his perspective on effectively deploying and securing Voice over IP," said TMC president and conference co-chair, Rich Tehrani. "During the past year, widespread adoption of IP Telephony by global service providers, businesses and governments has reinforced that VoIP is a viable, cost-effective communications solution. As a result, we are seeing a significant number of senior-level executives attending Internet Telephony Conference & EXPO as a means of learning about the technology so they too can take advantage of its benefits."
