I get questions regarding VoIP deployment all the time. Sometimes it is someone looking for simple and cheap Enterprise VoIP, who are unsure if VoIP can be deployed securely with those two parameters in the equation. More often it is the security aware people who are willing to invest almost anything to make it work, but cannot. As always, there is no silver bullet solution for either.

Still, I have really loved to see VoIP security emerge and evolve from being a hindrance in VoIP deployment, into a key marketing value. Finally some of those success stories will get a chance to see daylight.
