Back To School With VoIP Security
(S-01)

Friday - 01/27/06, 8:30-9:15am

The panel will be able to discuss and answer the following: • What are the steps in having a secure, IP telephony network? • What does an enterprise need to be aware of before rolling out a converged network? • How can an enterprise protect itself against the growing number of vulnerabilities that may attack the VoIP infrastructure?

Challenges of Enterprise VoIP Security
(S-02)

Friday - 01/27/06, 12:15-1:00pm

With ever increasing sophisticated means of intrusion, virus and worms, network administrators cannot focus on safeguarding traditional channels on the network. Along with the increasing number of large-scale VoIP deployments, administrators also need to look at their VoIP network as a point of potential attack. Managing computer and data network security is a tough challenge — and it will continue to get tougher. VoIP equipment is based on computers and data networks; by adopting VoIP, you are adopting all the security problems inherent in computer systems and data networks. However, with proper planning and attention to security details, you can prevent, detect, and react to security problems in an efficient manner. This presentation will open your eyes to see beyond traditional “security” tactics and the importance of safeguarding the entire network, especially in the new vulnerable area of VoIP.

Service Provider Security Concerns
(S-03)

Friday - 01/27/06, 1:15-2:00pm

One of the biggest hurdles when it comes to the successful deployment of VoIP at any level is security. This is particularly true when it comes to replacing carrier grade systems with VoIP. Many carriers have now committed to moving to VoIP in the next few years, but to ensure the same reliability as PSTN, they need to take a serious look at all aspects of security in their VoIP deployment. While VoIP security is a technical issue, the consequences of taking a reactive approach to VoIP security or of dealing with an attack are truly business problems that can’t be ignored. This session will include: an overview of the types of threats and attacks faced by VoIP such as theft of service, eavesdropping, and service availability attacks, with a special focus on new and emerging threats, as well as a look at why traditional data security technologies don’t provide the answer and the unique requirements of VoIP security.

VoIP Mobility & Security
(S-04)

Friday - 01/27/06, 2:15-3:00pm

Extensive VoIP deployment is imminent in wireless networks. Dual-mode mobile phones are now providing voice services using VoIP over WiFi when available, and cellular elsewhere. And as mobile phones are upgraded to the IMS standard, VoIP will be ubiquitous even over wide area cellular networks. But wireless VoIP is vulnerable to a host of security headaches that threaten to slow or stop the technology’s adoption. This session will discuss the need for and approaches to preventing the unauthorized use of the VoIP network; protecting the privacy of VoIP users; protecting VoIP network infrastructure assets and endpoints from various VoIP specific Denial of Service (DoS) attacks; SPAM; and other risks.
