I am newbie in the field of security, and stumbled across a security company advertising that they conduct Converged 
Network Assessments.
As they describe the assessment focuses on both the voice and the data network, in order to expose any new security 
holes created by a converged network.
 
•The assessment covers: 
–    External Security Assessment 
–    Internal Security Assessment 
–    PBX Assessment 
–    Adjunct Assessment 
–    Wireless Assessment 
–    Bluetooth Assessment 
–    Rogue Modem Assessment 
–    IDS Assessment 
–    SAN’s Assessment 
–    VoIP Assessment 
–    Penetration testing 

So can someone provide me a honest answer to what a Converged Network Assessment is, it sounds like a lot of marketing 
speak.

thx
