Group Announces VoIP Security Taxonomy

Matthew Friedman writes in Networking Pipeline:

The Voice over IP Security Alliance (VoIPSA) today announced its much anticipated VoIP Security Threat Taxonomy, a classification and description of the types of security threats that affect IP telephony.

Identified as the alliance's first major task when VoIPSA was formed last February, alliance secretary and taxonomy project head Jonathan Zar, who is also SonicWALL Senior Director, say that the taxonomy is the first step in dealing with VoIP security. "When we were asked by the press and the regulatory community about threats, we weren't always talking about the same thing," he says. "Everyone was talking about their part of the elephant."
