Good VoIP Deployment Guidelines (Do Not Exist?)
I get questions regarding VoIP deployment all the time.

I agree that good "Secure VoIP" deployment guidelines don't exist. Regarding your question, what I think would be good is more "Secure Out of the Box" configurations. The major vendors are getting better and better, but there will still be quite a few security issues present if security isn't a focus during deployment. However, I don't see this changing, until we see more real-world attacks.
