About the INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO - October in San Diego
Readers here know that I recently attend the TMCnet VoIP Developer Conference in Santa Clara, CA. Rich Tehrani and the TMC team do a great job of providing valuable converences. I've left a standing offer with these friends to assist in any way I can at any of their conferences, because I think these folks add real value to our industry. I talked to them recently and this morning received a nice email from their coordination team asking if I'd moderate a panel discussion or two and the October INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO at the San Diego Conventino Center.
Long-time readers know that beyond VoIP and unified communications, my interest vary widely, but that I'm pretty closely involved in the InfoSec community and involved in a variety of security initiatives. Here's a heads-up on the two panels I think I'll be moderating at the October conference.
If you're planning on attending, please do find me there. I plan on doing an array of interviews, podcasts, and perhaps some viedo (certainly pictures) from the floor.
Introduction to VoIP Security
Friday October 13th, 8:45-9:30am
While performance and availability of a VoIP system are of course extremely important, security oftentimes tops the list of concerns when deploying VoIP. In order to achieve the highest quality of service, focus must be placed on the underlying VoIP security framework. With most attacks occurring at the application level, it is imperative that companies understand the risks, and consequently design an effective security approach. By weaving security in from the onset, VoIP can be a powerful enterprise communications solution that significantly enhances worker productivity and enables cost savings.
In this presentation, the speakers will address a number of security-related VoIP topics, including:
- How VoIP can benefit enterprises;
- Why security must be a critical focus of VoIP migrations from the onset;
- Best practices in developing VoIP migration and adoption plans that maximize security;
- The most dangerous VoIP vulnerabilities and the impact of network configurations on security."
Friday October 13th, 12:15-1:00pm
Behind our daily barrage of hacker attacks, announcements of new viruses and worms, and frequent risk of downtime is an opportunity. This session is an opportunity to step away from the noise and learn how to build a proactive VoIP security model. It will explain the root cause of downtime and non compliance and how to preemptively, proactively protect VoIP networks against hackers, viruses, worms, spyware and malicous insiders. Attendees will learn how IP communications applications demand a security solution that not only "borrows" from the best security functionality of the data world but adds specific VoIP protection techniques that take into account the real-time, peer-to-peer, and feature-rich nature of these session-based protocols.
About the Conference & EXPO
INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO, held since the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Industry's infant days in 1999, has grown into the largest conference and exposition in the world focused on IP Communications.
