[VOIPSEC] FYI - Securing Unified Communications webinar tomorrow (Oct 28) at 1pm sponsored by Mitel

[Dan York]

VOIPSEC readers,

As I mention in this blog post on the Voice of VOIPSA weblog - http://bit.ly/4i59ue 
  - the folks at Mitel asked me to speak in a webinar as part of their  
"Discovery Series" of industry speakers.

The webinar is free to attend and begins at 1:00 pm US Eastern time  
tomorrow (Oct 28, 2008).  The abstract is here:
==========
     Discover Best Practices for Secure Unified Communications

     Presented by: Dan York, Voice Over IP Security Alliance (VOIPSA)
     October 28, 2008, 1:00 PM EDT / 10:00 AM PDT / 5:00PM GMT

     With the emergence of Voice-over-IP and Unified Communications,  
companies now have incredible opportunities to provide a rich  
communication experience to employees located in a single location or  
distributed globally. But how does a company do this in a secure  
manner? How is the confidentiality and integrity of corporate  
conversations protected? How can a company be sure that its IP phone  
systems and IP trunks will always be available for usage? What are the  
issues around protecting SIP trunks or using hosted services?

     In this webinar, VoIP Security Alliance Best Practices Chair Dan  
York will discuss the threats and risks to Voice-over-IP, the tools  
that are out to test (or attack) VoIP system and solutions and best  
practices for protecting your systems. He’ll also address concerns  
around SIP trunking, Spam for Internet Telephony (SPIT) and the move  
to push voice out into hosted/cloud computing environments and the  
associated concerns. Come prepared to learn about securing your VoIP  
system, to ask questions about your deployments and to leave with tips  
and resources to protect and defend your systems.
