11:15 – 12:15: Assertion: Common Attacks That Breached Communication Systems In 2021, and How to Prevent Them Dr. Val Matula, CTO, Assertion

What could an American healthcare organization, a European retail giant, and an American public transportation authority have in common? Undetected and unchecked attacks on their communication systems! Companies are finding themselves at the receiving end of multiple types of attacks on their communication systems. Financial losses due to telecom fraud alone, have shot up 28% in the last two years, as per the 2021 CFCA survey. Given how closely linked these systems are with the rest of the organization, it’s easy to see why attacks on Communications systems can have far-reaching and potentially devastating consequences. Join us for a session with Dr. Valentine Matula, CTO, Assertion Inc, to understand the why, what, and how of common attacks on your VoIP systems. Understanding how to protect your communication systems begins with understanding the why and how behind these attacks

12:15 - 12:45: Lunch

Unwanted Calls are putting an escalating burden on your voice network, opening your organization up to increased cyber risks and diminishing employee productivity. In today’s business climate our phone system and voice network are more important than ever. At the same time, there has been a spike in Robocalls, Spam Calls, Spoof Calls & Vishing calls that are clogging up the network, reducing responsiveness to our customers and business partners, and putting our organizations at increased risk from malicious callers. It’s time to stop unwanted callers to your business. In this session you will learn the size and scale of the problem and how to identify the severity of unwanted calls in your voice network.
