This document discusses common misconceptions about securing VoIP systems and SIP trunking. It outlines known security threats to SIP such as theft of services, eavesdropping, and denial of service attacks. The document then addresses three specific misconceptions: 1) that eavesdropping on VoIP is easy, but securing media with SRTP and signaling with SIP/TLS protects phones, 2) that SIP trunking can be secured with only a SIP firewall when an SBC is actually needed to prevent DoS attacks, and 3) that good security is very expensive when AudioCodes offers affordable solutions that support encryption and other best practices. Overall it provides an overview of SIP security risks and strategies for properly securing VoIP networks
