Beyond the Blackberry--Exposure to hacking, espionage, intrusion and interruption

Looking beyond just the BlackBerry, we all should understand that the current trend for individuals and corporations to use Internet Telephony (VoIP – Voice over IP) exposes them to hacking, espionage, intrusion and interruption. All aspects of Internet calls travel unprotected over the Internet, and utilize the common Internet infrastructure that is under daily attack. The service depends upon the Internet Domain Name Service (DNS). Anyone can start their own Internet phone company, and anyone can run their own DNS servers. Currently, there are 11.9 million DNS servers, so the exposure to malicious activity is enormous. Security on the Internet is impossible to achieve because of the very architecture of the Internet, which views everyone as trustworthy, and gives them direct access to your computer, your systems, and your phone as well, if you subscribe to VoIP. Battalions of people fight off attacks everyday because of this architecture. We know that it hasn’t worked. What isn’t generally realized is that it can’t be made to work – not safely, not securely.

To solve this problem, we have created a solution for Telecommunications that combines the best of the Internet (high speed, multimedia), with the best of the traditional telephone network (secure, reliable), to produce the next generation of telecommunications. We call it IronPipe – it is a system architecture based on a portfolio of patents we have been granted.”
