ACIF PUBLISHES VOIP SECURITY FACT SHEET AND GUIDE TO VOIP
The Australian Communications Industry Forum (ACIF) today announced it has published a VoIP security fact sheet as well as a basic guide to VoIP technical terms and issues.
These have been developed in response to a growing need within the telecommunications industry for information about VoIP developments and the impacts of Next Generation Networks (NGN).
The VoIP Security Fact Sheet is designed to alert VoIP and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) about security issues they need to address as this technology emerges. It highlights some of the ways VoIP calls, networks and systems can be vulnerable to malicious or criminal attack. The fact sheet offers advice to providers about the need to safeguard their own infrastructure and suggests that they also educate their customers on the need to take precautions.
A Basic Guide to VoIP Technical Terms and Issues was created to help VoIP providers supply information to their prospective customers. The guide seeks to offer a basic set of terms that can be consistently used across the industry.
As VoIP becomes part of the telecommunications landscape, there is a growing need to improve the level of understanding about the risks and benefits this service can provide, said Anne Hurley, CEO of ACIF.
Both the guide and the fact sheet provide useful information that will benefit VoIP providers and their customers.
The VoIP Security Fact Sheet and A Basic Guide to VoIP Technical Terms and Issues will be available from the ACIF website at www.acif.org.au/projects/voip.
Additional information about VoIP can also be found on the ACIF website at www.acif.org.au.
