Problem: Growing Security Concerns for VoIP Networks
The rate at which Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is growing opens many network security concerns. NIST recently issued Special Publication 800-58
entitled “Security Considerations for Voice Over IP Systems,” focusing 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 as being only “somewhat knowledgeable” - the lowest rating offered.
Likewise, 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 that must be dealt with proactively in order for
the growth to develop as predicted.
