The latest report from Light Reading’s VoIP Services Insider indicates that VoIP service providers aren’t taking the steps needed to prepare from impending security threats.

According to Light Reading:

VoIP Security: Vendors Prepare for the Inevitable examines applications in the VoIP security market, including security trends and the evolution of products, as well as target markets for VoIP security and the managed services strategies of various vendors. It also examines the outlook for the next 12 to 18 months for VoIP security, including threats the market faces, the impact of economic troubles, the buildout plans of various vendors, and the partnerships, investments, and acquisitions vendors have made. Finally, the report provides a comparative analysis of 12 of the top vendors in the VoIP security industry.

“Despite the hard lessons learned through security breaches in the earlier days of email and Internet, most VoIP users are not securing their networks adequately,” says Denise Culver, research analyst with Light Reading’s VOIP Services Insider and author of the report. “Some vendors believe this is a matter of VoIP users simply not understanding how to adequately secure their networks, while others believe it is necessary to better educate the VoIP marketplace about security issues, as well as create better tools to combat threats themselves.”

Always plan for the worst … seriously. To ignore that security threats will happen is like leaving your wallet on a subway.
