US Businesses Lag in Securing VoIP

DUBLIN, Ireland --(Business Wire)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c86505) has announced the addition of "US Businesses Lag in Securing VoIP" to their offering.

VoIP comprises a variety of voice solutions, including IP PBX equipment, hosted IP telephony, and broadband IP telephony, as well as collaboration and conferencing products. Regardless of the VoIP solution that is in place or planned, security should be an integral part of an implementation from the beginning.



To assess the trends and spending plans for securing VoIP in business, we conducted an end-user survey in September 2007.

-Over 80% of the respondents have deployed some type of VoIP solution in their companies.


-Although over 40% of the respondents do not have specific plans for securing VoIP deployments, most have budgets in place.

As businesses extend their IP telephony deployments to locations beyond the LAN, securing the VoIP infrastructure will become increasingly important. Although there continues to be a fair amount of hype around VoIP security, We believe tracking IP telephony trends is crucial to understanding the demand for VoIP security products and services.

This report update provides VoIP equipment shipment information and end-user survey data including:

-Traditional and IP PBX line shipment forecast, 2006-2011.

-IP Phone forecast by phone type, 2006-2011.

-Data from a survey of 299 IT professionals about their security plans for VoIP technology.
