I will be speaking next week at the CSI tradeshow. I'll do my best to educate network security professionals on how to preemptively and proactively protect their VoIP Networks at Computer Security Institute's Annual Conference. I will present the session entitled "VoIP Security" in the Critical Issues track. Network security and IT professionals will gain insight into how Voice over IP (VoIP) systems are the new target of hackers, exploiters, malware and cyber criminals. In this session, they will learn how to proactively defend these systems and protect their networks.

Session Title: Securing VoIP
Date/Time: Tuesday (November 7, 2006) 3:15pm — 4:15pm
Track: Critical Issues
Presentation Format: 60-minute Session
