Who is it for?

This course is designed for network and IT planners and managers, particularly those providing links for home workers and roaming users or those planning to use SIP trunk services. The briefing is also suitable for security professionals needing a high-level overview of VoIP security.

Overview of the briefing

A growing number of organisations have Voice over IP (VoIP) installations in progress or at least planned, but there is limited awareness of the range and nature of VoIP security threats. Many early VoIP installations adopted an isolationist policy with voice and data networks running on physically separate networks or using different VLAN segments and with a ban on any external IP connections. This policy does not completely address the problem and breaks down completely as soon as any attempt is made to realise the promised benefits of voice/data integration or to extend the service beyond the boundaries of the local area network.

This one-day high level briefing run by Peter Cox of VoIPcode.org in conjunction with First Base Technologies and white-hats.co.uk examines the range of security threats that face VoIP networks, surveys the available security technologies and defines a VoIP security model that enables the value added aspects of VoIP and related messaging services to be deployed.

The briefing covers the following topics

• Survey of VoIP protocols, standards based and proprietary
• VoIP and other applications, extending to video, instant messaging and presence
• Categorising security threats
• Threat demonstration, call disruption, call eavesdropping and denial of service
• Assessing the threat impact
• Review of security technologies, strengths and limitations
• Defining an effective security model
• VoIP vulnerability assessment
