Take a look at an article on Netronome at RSA published in the Tech Herald. The SSL Inspector is on the right track … looking inside encrypted streams where thieves are likely to hide … but Jarrod Siket jumped off the tracks in his view of VoIP channels. Jarrod says, “A good example of a non-threat that appliances can safely ignore is the payload of VoIP, because there’s no threat in theory embedded in that type of traffic.”
A transmission is a transmission is a transmission and it can be used against you! Remember on September 12, 2001 a lot of folks were saying, “We never thought that people would fly airplanes into buildings.” In the future, I’d like to expect a lot of folks like Jarrod would be saying, “We never though that people would transmit data instead of voice through a VoIP system.” But, it won’t likely happen. People will transmit data through VoIP and steal valuable information. It’s just that no one will notice because they never bothered to look. They will know that they have a problem only when the data that can only have originated from them comes to the surface after their business and their customers and their business partners have suffered damage.
