Why This Session is Important to You:
VoIP continues to grow in popularity, with some estimates predicting that the number of subscribers will increase in 2008 to nearly 17 million. While there can be many advantages of VoIP, including convenience, enhanced functionality and cost, there are also security concerns that must be addressed. Denial of Service attacks, vishing-which is a form of social engineering aimed at VoIP users-and other malicious attacks against VoIP networks and users are increasing challenges that we need to understand.
This webcast will focus on the security risks associated with VoIP-at both a user and enterprise level-and provide practical advice on how to defend against these risks.
Format of Webcast:
This session will feature an interactive Powerpoint presentation accompanied by audio.
The Department of Homeland Security's National Cyber Security Division and the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center have partnered to establish the National Webcast Initiative to develop a series of national webcasts which will examine critical and timely cyber security issues. Embracing the concept that security is everyone's responsibility, these webcasts are available to a broad audience to help raise awareness and knowledge levels. A number of vendors have offered their services at no cost to government, to help develop and deliver the webcasts.
The National Webcast Initiative is also coordinated by the New York State Office of Cyber Security and Critical Infrastructure Coordination
and the New York State Forum .
