Cloudonix Speaking and Sponsoring AstriCon 2018

Cloudonix will officially be speaking at AstriCon 2018- October 9th-11th! Nir Simionovich, CEO of Cloudonix, will be speaking on Wednesday, October 10th, 3:50-4:35 pm. His talk is titled “Geek to CEO – My Personal Asterisk Story”. Nir’s talk, in short, will encompass how VoIP gives the promise of great profits and an ever growing market potential. What most people don’t realise, is that in order to succeed, being a highly technical person isn’t enough. I started my Asterisk life as a Tech-Geek, almost 16 years ago, with Asterisk version 0.god_know_what. Since then I’ve traded places several times. Tech-Geek to CTO, CTO to Freelance Developer, Developer to Architect and finally Architect to CEO. I have suffered personal loss, managed to achieve things others didn’t – and learned a few things along the way.

Eric and Or’s talk is “Practical Impact of Telecom Fraud”. Their talk will cover how as communications services are more and more connected to various public or private clouds it is important to look at how to keep them secure. This can be from the remote SIP device or mobile app that connects to the hosted server, all the way through to the actual server or servers. In addition to protecting SIP endpoints, it’s also important to make sure the human-factor is aware to all the recent types and methods used by attackers to commit credit-card fraud. This session will present some of the more common ways to use call centers as a proxy for placing fraudulent orders and stealing goods and how to address this kind of attacks.As always, there will be a review of recent telecom attacks and how to protect against them.
