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. If you look at my past opinions, I keep changing my mind between cheap that works, and secure that doesn't. What do you think? Which way should we go in VoIP? http://www.itworld.com/security/56606/good-voip-deployment-guidelines-do-not-exist#comments Networking Security Opinion information security IP telephony security telecommunications voip Thu, 23 Oct 2008 08:27:25 -0400 Ari Takanen 56606 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/news/53741/ibmlotus-sharpens-weapon-unified-communications-battle IBM/Lotus is banking on the integration of its Sametime platform and collaboration software with tools from telephony partners to fuel its climb up the ranks of unified communications contenders. http://www.itworld.com/news/53741/ibmlotus-sharpens-weapon-unified-communications-battle#comments Unified communications News collaboration conferencing instant messaging IP telephony social networking voip Tue, 22 Jul 2008 16:19:03 -0400 ITworld staff 53741 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/endpoint-security/53603/greatest-challenge-voip-security The greatest challenge in VoIP security is that there are very few good example case studies available. There are some very good VoIP deployments. But try to find a white-paper with someone disclosing all the their success stories in building a perfect VoIP network. No luck! Unfortunately much of that data is hidden in confidential documents. 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. http://www.itworld.com/endpoint-security/53603/greatest-challenge-voip-security#comments Endpoint security Internet Networking Security Unified communications Opinion information security IP telephony security telecommunications voip Wed, 16 Jul 2008 03:08:39 -0400 Ari Takanen 53603 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/mobile-wireless/53178/unified-communications-roi-mind Internet Protocol-based (IP-based) solutions operating over a converged voice-and-data network are heralding a new world of communications. Indeed, successful organizations recognize that improved collaboration translates into "faster answers and better teaming" -- connecting teams in a way that they can communicate and work together, whether in the office, telecommuting or on the road. http://www.itworld.com/mobile-wireless/53178/unified-communications-roi-mind#comments Mobile & wireless Unified communications Feature IP telephony telecom Wed, 18 Jun 2008 12:09:06 -0400 abennett 53178 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/mobile-wireless/53124/telecom-industry-focuses-video-fat-pipes Wired and wireless carriers will meet up with network equipment vendors this week in Las Vegas to figure out how to meet the changing and fast-growing demands of enterprises and consumers. http://www.itworld.com/mobile-wireless/53124/telecom-industry-focuses-video-fat-pipes#comments Mobile & wireless Networking News IP telephony telecom Tue, 17 Jun 2008 16:56:04 -0400 abennett 53124 at http://www.itworld.com
