90% of the channel selling IP telephony still don’t fully appreciate the security risks, says Siobhan Gibbs, UK Sales Manager for VAD Wick Hill.
Gibbs was speaking out to highlight the dangers of toll fraud(1) and the current lack of focus on the subject.
“Clients need to protect their VoIP activities every bit as much as they protect their data activities, if they’re to prevent toll fraud,” said Gibbs. “If resellers are aware of the issues of toll fraud and don’t advise clients of the need for security, then when something goes wrong, guess who’ll get the blame?!”
