Description:

VoIP and Unified Communications (UC) have long held the promise of dramatically reducing your communications costs. But a common stumbling-block hampering adoption is ensuring that all communications are secure and that they support your information security policies.

If your business handles consumer data, credit card information, patient records, student records, proprietary data or intellectual property, then you need to be aware of the security implications of VoIP and UC. Recent real-world deployments of VoIP and UC have demonstrated an emerging set of best practices that enable you to capture the cost benefits of VoIP and UC, while maintaining the security posture essential to your business. Furthermore, enterprises that have embraced the principles of UC security are proving that they can securely project and extend these communications to external parties, unlocking new ways of collaborating with clients, partners, distributed employees and the supply chain.

This 1-day workshop, hosted by Paul Henry, Security Analyst and Consultant, SANS Institute, Forensics & Recovery LLC, Lumension, will feature a series of case studies, panel discussions and practical advice for assessing and improving your security posture for VoIP and UC.
