[VOIPSA Best Practices] Best Practices document structure set - next question: are these the appropriate areas?

[Ward, Bill]

For what it is worth, I think this represents a complete list.  I guess
a short introduction would be in order.  My name is Bill Ward and I have
been tasked with securing our network and VoIP.  I am relatively new to
security but I have known Cisco for several years now.  Since we work
with the DoD a lot I based my VoIP security off of DISA recommendations.
Of course, I am in the process of tailoring these recommendations to our
own internal needs.  I joined this project in order to gain more
knowledge and help out in any way I can.  I love to type and document.
Thanks for the opportunity to assist.

next question: are these the appropriate areas?

 


Best Practices team, 

Thank you to those of you who sent in comments either on the list or
directly to me.  A special thanks to Eugene Nechamkin who took the time
to write up a counter-proposal. Outside of his contribution, basically
all the feedback was for proposal #2, structuring the document around
functional areas, and so I'm going to say we're going with that. 

Now, the next question - is this list below from the wiki the
appropriate list of areas for VoIP-related best practices? 

1.        Securing Voice and Media stream 
2.        Securing Call Control 
3.        Securing Management Interfaces and APIs 
4.        Securing PSTN Interfaces and Traditional Telephony Issues
(i.e. don't forget toll fraud) 
5.        Securing Servers and Operating Systems 
6.        Securing IP Endpoints (ex. sets, softphones, etc.) 
7.        Securing the TCP/IP network (ex. VLANs, 802.1X, wireless,
etc.) 
8.        Physical Security, including backups, power, etc. 

Are we missing any major areas?  Should these be modified or tweaked? 

It seems to me to be a complete list, but then again, I wrote it, so of
course it would.  Any feedback is welcome. 

Regards,
Dan
