At O'Reilly's 2007 Emerging Telephony conference last week in San Francisco, Jonathan, Shawn Merdinger and I presented a 90-minute workshop in which we discussed the threats to VoIP security, the tools out there to test/defend your network and the best practices for securing VoIP systems.  We had a great audience that also included folks like blogger/podcaster Ken Camp and IETF RAI Area Director Cullen Jennings. This is a recording of the full session including the Q&A.

    Jonathan Zar is affiliated with Pingalo and is the Secretary of VOIPSA and member of the Board of Directors.

Why "Blue Box"?

  • We chose the name "Blue Box" primarily as a nod to the era of phone phreaking in part to illustrate that threats to telephony are not new - they just continue to change and evolve. That and admittedly the name just sounded cool.
