Web conferencing has ensured a cost effective and hassle free interaction medium for business houses. However, flow of confidential company information over a medium that is vulnerable to hackers and rivals has raised certain pertinent security issues.
At the same time the rapidly evolving technology has ensured numerous ways in which companies can protect data while retaining the cost-cutting and freedom offered by Web conferencing. During a Web conferencing session, data is stored temporarily on a shared Internet server. The main risk of Web conferencing involves the possibility that this data may leak beyond the intended realm of the conference.
Measures such as non-persistent data flow, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption, and intrusion control are essential for protecting data that is transmitted during a secure webconference. This three-pronged approach appreciably minimizes the chances of an information leak.
Various vendors are making persistent efforts to address security concerns. Among them Rhub’s of TurboMeeting products is credited with providing one of the most advanced secure web conferencing mechanism by ensuring access security, that is, preventing unauthorized access, by way of an affordable on-premise solution.
