VoIP and Security, Where’s the Growth?
Integrated voice security is a Buzz word side of the industry growing in importance. The emergence of VoIP technologies has increased the complexity of an already complicated telecommunications environment. As IP Telephony becomes a "business critical application", reaching a critical mass of adoption and maturity, it will inevitably become important for firms to foresee the security risks and take appropriate measures now.
In order to clarify what this means, the Telecommunications industries migration to telephony requires more security and planning. Less of this concern has to do with the actual VOIP enabled PBX providers or phone providers and more to do with the traditional companies and their network structure.
Discussions of security in VOIP are often raised, but the concerns have more to do with the appropriate measures being taken by the incumbent telecommunications firms. For the most part, the VOIP focused telecommunications companies and aggregators have taken the measures to protect information and packets, and are as secure if not more secure than current online mediums such as email.
The real growth of the security market will occur in two sectors from research papers readily available online, from the network point of view and from the need for VOIP firewall and VPN technology usage. The VPN is important for applications such as Softphones and Business-to-Business applications, to allow for the secure conversation necessary for “transaction” oriented discussions without a quality of service issue. Why is this important to you? You could place a VocalScape Eyefon click and talk button and be bale to have secure and safe discussions with financial information over the internet. This is ideal for Banks, Soho website owners, everything you see today! VoIP’s growing acceptance as an online communications tool with the 10’s of millions of softphone users, now enables the secure discussions they require to do business.
