And try to limit accounts to a single IP where possible.

Disable passwords and use ssh keys or some other kind of two factor
authentication, no one serious about security should still be using one

You should prevent calling out via all sections of the dial plan, not
just voicemail. Someone commented about people asking to be transferred
to extension 9011.

This may reduce brute force attempts, but doesn't replace having good
security.

5. If you are truly worried about VoIP security, don't use asterisk,
it's poorly written especially from a security point of view, and you
can't do advanced security like SIPS to encrypt the data channel.
