If you want the 30 second quick version of the article, they list the top 5 VoIP threats as:

  1. DoS (denial of service) Attacks on VoIP Networks
  2. VoIP Eavesdropping
  3. Microsoft Office Communications Server
  4. Vishing by VoIP
  5. VoIP Attacks Against Service Providers

The full article goes in a fair amount of detail about these attacks and ways to combat them. The article can be found here.

The article also links to a white paper titled “A Proactive Approach to VoIP Security”. This white paper may be of interest to some of my readers. You can download the white paper from here (registration required).
