It’s not just Light Reading that’s talking about UC security this week. Osterman Research has conducted a
survey polling enterprises on their security thoughts and features about UC.

Companies are starting to understand that UC is a good
thing, but it creates even more opportunities for data leaks. Nearly 50 percent of respondents are
concerned about information leak prevention in their current or planned UC
implementation with 23 percent viewing leak prevention as a top priority, said
109 mid- to large-IT organizations in North America.

IT shops are worried that attackers get a menu of choices by
putting all communications traffic onto one common data network. An attacker
can intercept VoIP, IM and other traffic or choose to inflict a
denial-of-service attack by using VoIP to flood systems with session requests.

Outsider attacks, however, pale in comparison to insider
threats from either unintentional or accidental leaks, with 48 percent of
respondents worried about such a problem compared to 31 percent who worry
about data loss from malicious software.
