Sipera Partners with TMC for FREE UC Security Workshop to ITEXPO West in Los Angeles

Featuring Noted Security Expert Paul Henry, Workshop Teaches ITEXPO Attendees How to Benefit from VoIP and UC Solutions Without Compromising Security 

Norwalk, CT – Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) today announced that Sipera Systems will host a Free one-day workshop for all ITEXPO attendees entitled, “Project UC, Protect UC: Deploying Low-risk, Secure VoIP &Unified Communications Solutions”. 

This free workshop, scheduled to take place on Wednesday, September 2nd at ITEXPO West, in the Los Angeles Convention Center, will teach attendees how to effectively deploy VoIP and UC solutions, in a manner that does not compromise the security posture of their organizations. Numerous case studies and panel discussions will address dozens of UC and VoIP security topics, such as:  
 
* Threat mitigation: What types of VoIP and UC attacks are becoming prevalent?
* How to determine if you are at risk; UC security assessment tools
* Extended enterprise security for teleworkers, remote offices, and distributed call centers
* Encryption strategies for inside the enterprise and with external parties
* Toll fraud: Addressing security gaps that create a risk for toll fraud
* Business continuity: Establishing a secure distributed communications foundation
* Access control: authenticating users and granting access to enterprise communications
* Security requirements for deployments in financial services, healthcare, education, government, manufacturing, retail, logistics, transportation, and other industries
 
“One of the stumbling-blocks hindering large-scale VoIP and UC deployments is the ability to ensure that all communications are secure, and that they support corporate information security policies, especially for organizations that handle credit card information, patient records, or other proprietary data,” said Rich Terhani TMC president and ITEXPO conference chairman.
 
“This seminar will clearly present the best-practices that enable organizations to deploy VoIP and UC solutions that capture the cost benefits, and also maintain the security posture that is essential to conducting business today,” Tehrani added.
 
“VoIP and UC hold the promise to unlock highly innovative ways for enterprises to interact with clients, employees and the supply chain.  We are working with enterprises of all sizes and in a wide range of industries as they deploy these new communications technologies and gain important competitive advantages,” said Adam Boone, Vice President of Marketing for Sipera.
 
“This workshop will focus on the practical lessons and techniques used by these enterprises to secure communications, maintain compliance with privacy mandates,  and avoid risks like toll fraud, eavesdropping, and compromised security architectures.  If VoIP or UC are in an enterprise’s future, the information presented in this workshop will make that adoption simpler and smoother,” added Boone.
 
This workshop is targeted toward enterprise telephony, telecom, IT and networking managers, security consultants and practitioners, compliance managers and consultants, service providers providing SIP trunks and hosted VoIP or UC services, and CTOs, CIOs and other senior executives interested in adopting VoIP and UC.
