VoIP Phone Security (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/5/2010

Security for Voice over IP (VoIP) phones requires special attention because the network interface used by the phone provides an access point to the rest of the network. This access could be used remotely by an attacker.

If the security of the VoIP phone is compromised, it could compromise the security of the other nodes on the network.

Because VoIP phones are designed for use over a network, to mitigate potential security risks, you should use all appropriate network security resources.

For detailed security information about major components of the Windows Embedded CE VoIP phone functionality, see the following topics. You should also review the security information for any other components that your VoIP phone device uses.
