Although VoIP may be on its way to widespread adoption, research indicates that many US businesses haven’t yet taken steps to increase security for VoIP systems, reports
In-Stat. As businesses extend their IP telephony deployments to locations beyond the LAN, securing the VoIP infrastructure will become increasingly important, the high-tech market research firm says.
Recent research by In-Stat found the following:
- Over 80% of survey respondents have deployed some type of VoIP solution in their companies.
- Between 2007 and 2010, 168 million IP PBX lines will be shipped into the business premises.
- Usage of collaboration and conferencing products that leverage VoIP is increasing.
The research, “
US Businesses Lag In Securing VoIP”, covers the US business market for VoIP. This research provides VoIP equipment shipment information and end-user survey data including:
- Traditional and IP PBX line shipment forecast, 2006–2011.
- IP Phone forecast by phone type, 2006–2011.
- Data from a survey of 299 IT professionals about their security plans for VoIP technology.
