-Abstract- VoIP has the immediate benefits of reduced costs of operations to corporations with the dual use of the existing data networks already in place for voice and data packets contrast to the more expensive alternative of a separate traditional phone line network from the data network. Companies generally place their concern of voice quality, latency, and quality of service of VoIP above the overall security when in fact VoIP telephony is actually more vulnerable to certain attacks. This wiki will outline three of the most common threats found in the VoIP environment including eavesdropping, theft of services, and denial of service attacks as well as the counter measures employed by security officers against these threats. Has VoIP come far enough so that the benefits outweigh the costs to justify its use?
