Description
According to Cybersecurity Ventures, global cybersecurity spending will increase by 12-15% per year until 2021. But despite the ever-increasing attention paid to security, there is one area that remains notably absent from the list of security priorities – conference calls and remote meetings. When doing assessments, the risk of someone hacking into the phone system often does not factor into the discussion.
Traditionally dial-in conferencing has been the underlying cause of the majority of security breaches because of its ‘black box’ nature and the use of unprotected numbers and access codes. However, thanks to the proliferation of cloud services, more and more unified communications platforms are opening up to the outside world, rousing new security concerns. WebRTC, cloud services and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunking offer vectors to attack. Bring your own device and bring your own applications add to this challenge.
By mixing unsecured networks and subpar conferencing security practices, you are opening yourself and your business up to big vulnerabilities. During this discussion, we will uncover the biggest security challenges with conferencing technology and what you can do to protect yourself.
We will also be playing an interactive version of the US game show ‘Card Sharks’ where participants will compete against each other to win a prize.
