Securing VoIP One More Way
From the article "Are VoIP systems prepared for attacks?" on SC magazine, I snipped the last of it, the advise. Although seems to be repeating the process of securing a any data network, VoIP IP Telephony services needed to be secured in addition to the security in place for the VoIP. In addition meaning, VoIP Phones are more like a computers and acts and behaves like computers. So once you have provided the regular data security, following may provide a peace of mind to IP Professionals that are in charge.
The top five ways for Securing VoIP
1. End-users must demand that VoIP protocols are both inherently secure and open.
2. Companies must pledge support for moving to open, royalty-free and documented security standards, and away from proprietary VoIP protocols.
3. Corporations should audit their products, and replace insecure or proprietary usage.
4. A secure VoIP protocol should be released under an open source or general public license agreement.
5. A secure protocol should contain end-to-end encryption, control and configuration of end-devices and mutual authentication.
