The FCC's recent order was a serious wake up call to our VoIP industry and if you aren't staying on top of the latest developments in the VoIP 911 market you are going to be left behind. The fines the FCC is going to impose on our industry are so severe that it behooves you to be educated on 911 not only today but well into the future. As the market evolves and solutions get better, this one summit is where you need to come to stay abreast of the latest developments and network with your peers who are in the same position as you.
Track: IP Communications Security (tp)
Securing Enterprise VoIP (E-06)
Wednesday - 09/12/07, 2:45-3:30pm
As VoIP moves from the Intranet to Internet, security has gone from being a nice-to-have feature to a fundamental requirement. This session will look at what is required and how security works in VoIP systems. It will consider the types of attackers, their motivations, and the attacks that have been observed on a wide variety of real deployments. It will then explain the various mechanisms that are available to provide authentication, authorization, integrity, and confidentiality.

It’s well documented that Open source provides a level of flexibility in creating IP-based solutions and can play a key part in migrating the traditional phone network to IP, while saving communications developers and providers capital — enabling them to pass the cost savings onto their customers. But as with any enterprise VoIP deployment, security is an issue that can’t be overlooked. Come to this session to get educated on what you need to do to secure your open source enterprise VoIP deployment.

Today’s enterprise networks are expected to deliver an increasing amount mission-critical communication applications such as voice, video, data and mobility while at the same time avoiding a negative impact on network optimization. Enterprises demand increased productivity and cost savings, so as more applications run on the LAN and WAN, the stakes get higher. Security challenges from privacy to encryption, to denial of service attack protection become extremely complex. Businesses also demand that their IP communication services be of the same high quality and reliability as their non-IP counterparts. As a result, aspects such as call quality assurance, network and cost optimization, and delivering services through NATs/firewalls become increasingly important for the underlying network.
While high-profile VoIP security breaches and attacks are currently rare (or, at least, rarely reported), there is a strong focus on VoIP security of late. This session will give an overview of current VoIP threats and focus on the business challenges to delivering a satisfying user experience over enterprise networks and explore the technical solutions available to meet those challenges.

Extending Security to the U.C. User Community (UC-05)
Monday - 09/10/07, 1:30-2:15pm
As enterprises increasingly deploy UC, they find themselves under increasing pressure to extend networks beyond trusted domains, in order to enable soft clients, WiFi/dual-mode phones, remote IP phones, and Web phones that extend unified communications beyond the enterprise main office. With users less confined to headquarters, enterprise networks are becoming increasingly complex and susceptible to security breaches. This presentation will examine a number of common threats including reconnaissance, Denial of Service (DoS)/Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), Stealth DoS, spoofing and VoIP spam, in order to explore the best practices methods to secure all VoIP, IM and other IP communication applications from threats that endanger the continued exchange of time-critical, business-sensitive information.

As mobile devices increase in sophistication, the value of data they carry makes them more valuable than many computers. Applications and services previously limited to PCs are also now available on mobile systems, offering consumers experiences they’ve never had before. However, as the mobile environment evolves, the same problems that have plagued PC users for many years (fraud, theft, viruses and spam) have also begun to threaten the integrity of the mobile industry. In this session, we’ll explain ways to improve fraud prevention and strengthen customer loyalty.
Attendees will learn:
• How to identify mobile messaging risks and what technologies exist to mitigate those risks;
• How antispam and antispoofing technologies allow operators to detect abnormal patterns in messaging traffic, confirm legitimate senders, filter content, and block suspicious messages;
• How EIR (equipment identity register) supports theft prevention; and
• How to turn these technologies into revenue-generating value-added services.
