Problem: Growing Security Concerns for VoIP Networks
The rate at which Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is growing opens many network security
concerns. NIST issued a report titled “Security Considerations for Voice Over IP Systems”
recently, which focuses on VoIP security problems and recommendations, and highlights the
current level of concern.
In-Stat predicts business VoIP deployments will grow from 9.9 million in 2006 to 45.8
million deployments in 2010. Yet, the company notes that more than 40 percent of the
businesses surveyed do not have specific plans for securing their VoIP deployments.
Additionally, when In-Stat asked them to rate their VoIP security knowledge, most enterprise
managers characterized themselves
only as being “somewhat
knowledgeable,” the lowest rating
offered.
Similarly Frost & Sullivan predicts that
VoIP revenue for service operators will
grow at more than 40 percent to over
$8 billion by 2008. Since building and
deploying VoIP systems is very complex,
security and robustness weaknesses are
an unfortunate reality.
Solution: Mu Security Enables More Robust VoIP Deployments
Both VoIP equipment providers and their cable operator customers now have a new testing
and analysis tool to isolate and document VoIP weaknesses. These tools, called Security
Analyzers,…
