Workshop: Securing VoIP

Wednesday 2 August 2006

Separately bookable pre-conference

With ever increasing sophisticated means of intrusion, viruses, 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 workshop will expand your knowledge beyond traditional
“security” tactics and the importance of safeguarding the entire
network, especially in the new and vulnerable area of VoIP.

• Addressing VoIP security issues: firewalls, fraud, and privacy
• Key technologies and components used to build VoIP networks
• VoIP protocols, threats and vulnerabilities
• Securing your VoIP networks and applications
• Intrusion prevention and detection techniques
• Security assessment and vulnerability discovery for VoIP
• Security management for VoIP deployments
• Peer-to-peer security issues for VoIP deployments
• Top tools you should know about

Limited places are available for the pre-conference workshop – so book today!
