VoIP Security

VoIP security is becoming more of an issue, probably because it is becoming mainstream. There are quite a few regulations that need to be reviewed for compliance. [from TechRepublic.com] Some of the new regulations can be addressed by selecting and implementing compliant equipment, but the vast majority are operational in nature, meaning that to ensure compliance you'll need to pay more attention to: 1) how your IP communications systems are designed, and 2) how your organization's business and IT operations groups are using the equipment once it's live. Explore each applicable set or regulations in depth in this sample chapter from "Practical VoIP Security". Chapter coverage includes:
  • SOX: Sarbanes-Oxley Act
  • GLBA: Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
  • HIPAA: Heach Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
  • CALEA: Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act
  • E911: Enhanced 911 and Related Regulations
  • EU and EU Member States' eCommunications Regulations
