BorderWare Discusses Internet Telephony Security Threats at Ziff Davis Media Security Virtual Tradeshow

Business Wire, Nov 30, 2004

DALLAS & TORONTO -- BorderWare Technologies, the benchmark provider of messaging security solutions, today announced the company has been invited to speak on the security vulnerabilities of Internet telephony at the Ziff Davis Media Security Virtual Tradeshow. The virtual tradeshow brings together the top security experts in the technology industry for a two-day online event focused exclusively on the most pressing IT security issues. BorderWare is participating in a live Hot Button Panel discussion on "Protecting VOIP From Hackers, Spoofers and Malicious Threats" on Wednesday December 1, 2004 at 4:30pm Eastern Standard Time.

According to Elliot Markowitz, Editorial Director, Ziff Davis Media eSeminars: "The move to VOIP phones is gaining momentum, but it is riskier than you may have imagined. Corporations and individuals embracing VOIP can realize substantial cost savings by utilizing the Internet and bypassing expensive long-distance communication providers. But what is not commonly known is that such a move can open up the floodgates for hackers to infiltrate phone conversations and steal confidential data just as if they broke into an IT system. Spammers can also flood the system with massive denial of service attacks rendering the phone system useless. VOIP experts and service providers will lead this panel discussion and exploit the weaknesses in VOIP security, as well as outline practices and technology steps to keep your phone conversations private."
