VoIP security priority for 2007
2007-01-03

As more businesses choose to convert to VoIP in 2007, the security threat is set to increase, according to a new report.
The MessageLabs report into web security risks of 2006 points to the trends for the coming year with falling rates of viruses as more targeted attacks using botnets, malicious emails with URL inks and ransomware.
Towards the end of 2007, the firm predicts VoIP threats will start to emerge as use of the technology becomes more widespread and criminals start to target vulnerabilities.
Mark Sunner, MessageLabs chief technology officer, said: "The next year will certainly bring more targeted and sophisticated attacks as the bad guys continue to sharpen their tools. Companies need to take a layered and proactive security approach by fighting against cyber-criminals from 'in the cloud' at the internet level."
He added: "2006 was the year that spammers took the security industry by storm and showcased their new tactics and techniques for mass disruption. Now accounting for almost nine out of ten emails, spam has categorically shed its title of being a nuisance and is a perilous threat which all companies need to be protected against."
Further threats that the coming year could hold come from domain kitting, where criminals hold a domain for just a number of days, and 'off the shelf' spam kits to enable criminals of lesser technical abilities to operate spam campaigns.
