Secure and Reliable Utility Telecom Networks: Strengthening Underlying Telecom Infrastructure in Today's Risk-Sensitive Environment | 2009-04-01 | Sycamore Networks |
| In the context of utility telecom networks, security and reliability issues appear at essentially all major layers of the networking model. From application-layer viruses, "Back-Door" user log-ins, and firewall breaches, to potentially harm physical communications links, utilities face a variety of exposures both old and new. This paper focuses on ways to strengthen security and reliability at Layer 1 - the province of leased lines and the transport equipment that shuttles data, voice, SCADA, and other traffic between points in a utility telecom network.

Webcast: Voice over IP Security | 2008-02-01 | Global Knowledge |
| It's important to understand that VoIP is vulnerable to specific types of attacks. For example, the media channel is subject to a variety of attacks, including wiretapping and media manipulation. The signaling is also vulnerable to attack, which can include misdirected or counterfeit signaling messages that may be difficult to detect. Finally, there are denial of service attacks, which can be unique to VoIP equipment. In this seminar, Global Knowledge course director and instructor Stuart McLeod covers the types of attacks and how they are executed.

Increase your Competitive Advantage with Business Communication Technology | 2007-04-17 | Cisco Systems |
Most traditional business communications rely on telephone and paper-based processes. These resources do not readily support the level of productive interaction that growing businesses need to excel, and can be easily overwhelmed in periods of rapid growth. "Organizations are looking to increase productivity by focusing on the interactions between colleagues, partners, and customers, says John Chambers, Cisco Chairman and CEO. "Productive interactions also help improve profitability and customer satisfaction, and they create new opportunities for corporate growth and success." Today, successful companies around the world achieve that efficiency with network-based communications tools such as e-mail and a Web presence. These tools support the high levels of productivity and customer support that growing companies need to compete in larger and more lucrative markets. A sound network foundation will also support the new technologies and applications necessary to sustain ongoing competitiveness.

Unified communication transform business communication | 2007-04-17 | Cisco Systems |
Business communications often fail to keep pace with the demand for real-time communications to address mission-critical business needs. Unified communications offers new flexibility and manageability across multimodal applications to deliver unprecedented levels of connection for the distributed workforce. They unravel communication bottlenecks, tie together applications with a simple user interface, and support closer collaboration across the enterprise. Unified communications also provides a competitive differentiator by enabling employees to reach others more quickly and eliminate delays caused by the inability to reach key decision-makers.

Messaging security: Defense in depth and breadth | 0000-00-00 | McAfee |
| When discussing information security, the phrase 'defense in depth' describes the principle of not depending upon one mechanism or practice to secure a system. With messaging security, you must also think in terms of 'breadth' as well to provide sufficient protection. As more services are provided on the Internet, from email and instant messaging to IP telephony and Web video conferencing, you create more potential vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attackers. By combining technologies for messaging defense along with security management practices, you can help ensure malicious content stays out of your organization's network while confidential information remains intact.
