I'm hearing more about new kinds of attacks on LANs, such as
voice-over-IP attacks or exploits that use printers as a source of
attack. How can LAN security help me prevent those attacks?
It's absolutely true that these kinds of attacks are on the rise. In fact, the SANS Institute
recently listed client-side attacks as one of today's most critical
vulnerabilities. While it may be foolhardy for any of us to think we
can fully prevent such attacks, you certainly have some strong options
for mitigating the threat that they pose to your enterprise.
One of the first steps to take is to implement an authentication scheme
in your LAN that encompasses devices as well as users. If you're
pursuing something like 802.1x, it won't be sufficient because phones,
printers, medical devices, robotics and other devices for the most part
will not be able to support the required 802.1x supplicant.

Klausner Technologies has filed a $360 million suit against Apple and
AT&T over voicemail patents that the company claims the iPhone
infringes.
New York-based Klausner
says the lawsuit also names Comcast, Cablevision Systems and Ebay's
Skype as infringing its patent for "visual voicemail". The plaintiff
seeks an additional $300 million from the three.
The iPhone's visual voicemail is just one of the standout features
of the handset, which has won critical acclaim and huge sales success
in the US, although appears to be struggling to repeat that feat in the UK. Klausner has filed the
lawsuit in a US Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The suit
alleges the defendants' internet-based voicemail products and services
violate a Klausner patent.

If you’ve ever wished Skype could truly be mobile, on a dedicated
mobile Skype phone that worked just like Skype on your desktop, the 3
Skypephone has arrived to make your wishes come true!
Skype, the world’s most popular Internet phone call software, having
made online calling as simple and reliable as text messaging, has
already gone mobile some time ago.
Mobile clients for Windows Mobile, Symbian and other platforms, along
with cordless Wi-Fi and DECT phones for use in the home, office or at
hotspots for Wi-Fi models, has been possible not just with Skype, but a
range of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol, or Internet phone)
programs.
But Skype is the most popular of them all, with more than 200m users,
and in all the time it has faithfully rendered us all the service of
free phone calls between Skype users and very inexpensive calls, in
most cases, to real phones, there has only been one major outage, an
excellent record compared with traditional phone companies over the
years.
