VoIP - Security Reality Check

Here is a bit of a wake up call from CIO magazine, who warn us that "CIOs ready to take the plunge with VoIP need to understand that data firewalls alone won't protect them." They recommend:

• Encypting VoIP traffic;
• Avoid soft-phones;
• Seperate voice and data traffic;
• Install a VoIP firewall; and
• (The one we often forget about) Ensure physical security.

Don't say you've not been warned!
