Telcos, cablecos, ISPs, wireless operators -- service providers of all types are moving to IMS architectures to enable fixed-mobile convergence. As part of their evolution, service providers must now ensure media integrity and security as it moves from one environment to another.
This interactive presentation sponsored by Netrake will identify the security threats of IMS's horizontal network design, describe effective countermeasures using session border controller and security gateway technologies available today, review real-world applications involving VoIP security deployments in wireline and wireless environments, and define the security standard for next-generation networks.
