November 5, 2009Network Security in Next Generation 9-1-1: What You Need to Know to Keep Your System Safe. Thursday, November 5, 2009 – 1:00 PM EST

According to a recent study by IBM Internet Security Systems X-Force, 74% of the new IT vulnerabilities discovered in the last six months are aimed at disrupting business applications, including those leveraged by IP Telephony and Unified Communications systems.  Don’t allow your system to become another statistic. NG 9-1-1 creates significantly expanded and interconnected communications capabilities in data and voice. Yet at the same time, its relatively open architecture requires solid security methods to minimize accidental and intentional disruption of operations and emergency communications. Learn what it takes to build a secure NG 9-1-1 system that keeps your PSAPs safe from worms, viruses and other attacks or disruptions to service. In the Journey to NG 9-1-1, it’s critical to develop a comprehensive security strategy to keep your next generation emergency system continuously protected.  Join NENA, IBM ISS X-Force and Avaya in this one-hour webinar, to learn what you need to know about keeping your network protected. This webinar will feature John W. Pirc, Executive, Product Line & Services, IBM Internet Security Systems and SANS Institute Thought Leader. We will also be joined by Dr. Walt Magnussen, Director for Telecommunications at the Texas A&M University Internet2 Technology Evaluation Center and Past President of ACUTA, who will discuss security within the U.S. Department of Transportation NG 9-1-1 project.
