How to conduct secure videoconferences?

Videoconferencing: An indispensable tool for organizations

Among the digital collaborative tools that have become indispensable to organizations, we obviously include the secure videoconferencing platform. This solution enables live voice and video exchanges between numerous participants and includes other features depending on the application selected (chat, polling, presentation of digital documents, games...). 

The videoconferencing solution offers many advantages for organizations: 

• Limit costs by not requiring distributed employees to travel when they need to attend a meeting 
• Increase employee productivity by saving time
• Streamline internal exchanges by enabling meetings to be organized between numerous colleagues from the same company, scattered over different geographical areas, and/or employees working from home.
• Improve customer and supplier relations by humanizing exchanges through video-enhanced calls 
• Attend or provide participative distance learning courses
• Simplify remote team management
• ....

Securing your videoconferencing solution: A necessity for any organization

Despite their many advantages, videoconferencing tools also raise major issues in terms of securing and protecting exchanges, as it is difficult to ensure the security of data transiting via this kind of application. 

This issue is all the more important for organizations allowing their employees to work remotely. By increasing remote connection points, these tools expose the organization to greater risks of cyber attack or espionage, which can jeopardize their existence.

If the use of secure collaborative tools such as videoconferencing proves vital, an organization must still select the most reliable applications to secure its data. 

Which secure videoconferencing tool should you choose for your organization?

Zoom, Skype, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams... There is a plethora of tools that are supposed to guarantee secure videoconferencing. However, these videoconferencing applications, most of which are free, can include vulnerabilities, particularly when it comes to protecting user data. As often the case with free applications, the risks of data reuse for commercial purposes or internal cyber attacks are significant.

When it comes to securing data from videoconferencing exchanges, it may therefore be worthwhile to turn away from giants like Google or Microsoft and turn to companies such as Ercom, which specialize in protecting and securing sensitive data. 

By choosing our solution Citadel Team, you will benefit from a completely secure videoconferencing tool without any advertising or resale of data, and that allows you to encrypt your exchanges when necessary.
