Security is the number one concern of any organization when it comes to using their web conferencing solution. Wire tapping and unauthorized access to web meetings is a common issue faced by companies worldwide. Most hosted solutions in the market do take care of transmission security issues like wire tapping by using the popular SSL encryption. Some vendors use SSL encryption along with their own proprietary encryption for enhanced transmission security.

But there is a huge concern and question mark when it comes to access security. Unauthorized access to private company web meetings have become a nuisance and irritating for more companies than previously imagined. Hosted web conferencing solution providers are the worst hit as they use simple meeting IDs and passwords for attendees to provide access to web conferencing sessions. These login details are normally emailed to a user and this is where the main problem arises. Emailed login details can be easily compromised and a hacker can capture a computer screen within seconds and once they intercept or guess the meetings ID, they have complete access to the company web conferencing system and sensitive information.

Industry analyzers believe that instead of hosted web conferencing solutions, deploying web conferencing appliances is the way to go to tackle the access security menace. RHUB's on-premise secure web conferencing appliance is one of the best ways of handling security issues and at the same time it is the most affordable option.

Being an on-premise appliance, RHUB's secure web conferencing system can be deployed in various ways such as behind firewall for internal meetings only, DMZ for internal as well as external meetings and outside firewall for external meetings.

RHUB's secure web conferencing system allows you to check an option in the appliance to tell the system that the current web meeting is for internal attendees only and the system will automatically reject anyone trying to login from outside the network or outside your firewall.

Even when you use RHUB's Remote Access Appliance along with the web conferencing system, RHUB takes care of complete security as none of the session passwords are stored in any database either locally or in the remote machines. The passwords are irreversibly encrypted and transmitted via SSL. In fact by default a screen image is transmitted with RHUB's proprietary encryption for added security and efficiency.

Also no one can access the RHUB's web conferencing appliance without your knowledge including RHUB staff themselves. The appliance comes with self protection and you can simply place the appliance outside of your firewall and router. Even if you need support from RHUB's staff, you can login to the console as a system administrator and execute a special command. This ensures that the remote support staff that accesses your appliance cannot retrieve user passwords or passwords for remote access meetings.

RHUB's secure web conferencing system even allows you to restrict access via IP addresses in addition to your firewall. It is as good as setting up your own mini VPN system and no hosted web conferencing solution can come near to the security that can be provided by using RHUB's web conferencing appliance.
