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/security/56603/state-information-security CSO’s annual “Global State of Information Security” survey brings to light a few of the failures of how people approach information security, and in particular, focuses on the current economic crisis and the impact that it is having on security technology. http://www.itworld.com/security/56603/state-information-security#comments Security Feature email security information security security Thu, 23 Oct 2008 04:12:05 -0400 jdarmanin 56603 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/security/55478/how-information-centric-security-approach-can-protect-sensitive-company-information How the DRM approach further protects company data? http://www.itworld.com/security/55478/how-information-centric-security-approach-can-protect-sensitive-company-information#comments Security How-to data protection drm information security Tue, 30 Sep 2008 11:53:51 -0400 ExecutiveBrief 55478 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/channel/54719/vars-have-big-opportunity-midmarket-according-study According to a study conducted by Echo Research for Arrow Enterprise Computing Solutions, VARs targeting the mid market "need to improve before they can take full advantage of the market opportunity. The study showed that 70 percent of executives said their consultants performed up to expectation, but only 10 percent said their consultants exceeded expectations. http://www.itworld.com/channel/54719/vars-have-big-opportunity-midmarket-according-study#comments Channel News Echo Research information security midmarket Fri, 05 Sep 2008 10:16:16 -0400 dblacharski 54719 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/opinion/53477/failures-information-security-observing-world-and-asking-why Information security matters; it is important. It matters to companies and their shareholders. It is of great importance to the general public, whose personal data is stored by the companies and organizations with which they interact (and by some with which they don’t). We all hope our private files and email correspondence remain secure. The security industry and security professionals are the guardians of that personal information. They seek to frustrate criminals by employing standard ways of working and by deploying security technologies. Unfortunately, these efforts have not always been successful. This chapter delves into some of the most apparent failures of information security. http://www.itworld.com/opinion/53477/failures-information-security-observing-world-and-asking-why#comments Security Opinion data breach information security privacy Tue, 08 Jul 2008 12:30:20 -0400 ITworld staff 53477 at http://www.itworld.com
