LOS ANGELES, CA (March 19, 2007) —GlobalTouch Telecom, Inc., the award winning provider of innovative, vertically-integrated hosted VoIP platforms, today announced that Joel Maloff, Vice President, Products, has accepted an invitation to participate in a panel discussion on Security for IMS at Spring VON 2007, Thursday, March 22, 9:00am, at the San Jose Convention Center, San Jose California.

The layered approach to security has added a lot of weight to the solutions associated with the Internet, but in theory IMS can focus on security at the application layer. Mr. Maloff will be discussing real world model adoption, and how they blend new techniques with old solutions. Specifically, Joel will be providing his insight into the use of generic user profiles and application aware security.

“There are various network security and confidentiality aspects built into the 3GPP IMS specification,“ said Joel Maloff, Vice President, Products, GlobalTouch Telecom. “However, unless these provisions are used in conjunction with an overall network security and computing system security policy, they are easily compromised.”
