A brief VoIP Security note

My colleague Dave Piscatello posted this on his blog the other day. I don't think I've seen Dave in person in 10 years or more now, but I read his work all the time and follow his efforts.

New VoIP Security Resources (Is anyone reading them?)

I've added a dozen or so articles to my VoIP Security Resources and have included a short list of books on this subject (including my own, with Alan Johnston). I am a little surprised that relatively few new articles have been published over the past six months, and that many of the recently published merely regurgitate what has been exposed for several years. Recent articles, however, appear in trendier online pubs and news portals. This suggests that the press has begun to campaign that VoIP Security is *the* most worrisome issue on every CSO's list. By February, Internet toll fraud and eavesdropping attacks will replace rootkits and key loggers as the most popular parlor talk among the (not so) techno-craties.

There are times when I share Dave's question in the subject line. I thought I'd post here to assure Dave that yes, people are reading security resources. People are interested enough that VON Magazine asked me to join as a focused contibutor on security. You'll be seeing some articles in the months ahead.

I also wanted topoint you all to Dave's excellent VoIP Security Resources.
