Were you unable to get to VON Europe ’07 in Stockholm, Sweden back in June to hear the panel session on “The Real Risks of VoIP Security“?  Well now you can hear it.  Blue Box Special Edition #19 is now available for download.

In this session, our own Martyn Davies is the moderator and the panelists are Ari Takanen of Codenomicon, Cullen Jennings of Cisco and Akif Arsoy of Verisign.  Readers of the VOIPSEC mailing list will have seen posts from Ari at various times and it’s hard to escape Cullen in the world of IETF standards!  Rather than just going through endless slides, the panel engaged in a conversation based on questions from Martyn and then the audience.   It was a lively session with lots of good questions, interaction from all three of the panelists and Martyn with the audience… and Cullen making the kind of statement “that everytime someone from Cisco makes a statement like this we make ourselves subject to attack” (you’ll have to listen to understand that teaser 🙂

I think you’ll find it both enjoyable and educational.  Thanks to Martyn for producing the recording and for Ari, Cullen and Akif for agreeing to have it distributed.  Thanks also to Carl Ford, Jeff Pulver and the rest of the VON team for allowing us to record and distribute the session.
