There is no such industry-wide ban on Asterisk.
The FBI warning was issued in December 2008 about a vulnerability in Asterisk SIP authentication. The vulnerability was documented by Digium in Asterisk Security Advisory AST-2008-003, and had been resolved NINE months earlier, in March 2008. The original FBI IC3 warning has been revised substantially.
A good article detailing the issue:

We have been approached by a brokerage firm to upgrade their phone system to VoIP and presented Asterisk as a solution. Our competition is pushing Microsoft's system and states that Asterisk is forbidden in the industry especially following last year's FBI warning. Anybody have clarification on this? Hoping they are wrong.Thanks!----------------------------------------------------------------------------
