Addressing the NYT article on videoconferencing security concerns
from your friends at Teliris
On Monday, the New York Times published an article about the security concerns surrounding videoconferencing, reporting that an IT security firm has found a way to dial into and monitor video calls unauthorized.
The vulnerabilities observed by the security firm were the result of end-users not enabling the appropriate security features on their networks and endpoints.
Teliris would like to remind our customers that we are committed to the privacy of your data, and will always work with you to ensure that the maximum amount of security is put in place to help prevent any unauthorized access to your video calls.
Teliris leverages a proprietary signaling protocol so outside users are not able to connect to Teliris endpoints with a simple IP address. In addition, Teliiris managed services prevent unauthorized users from accessing a Teliris solution. Meetings must be scheduled or initiated by a Teliris VNOC operator using Teliris’ patented Dynamic Scenario Manager. Users on non-Teliris endpoints are connected through a Teliris bridge dialing out or by dialing into a Teliris meeting using a user-defined confidential meeting pin code.
Teliris’ Lentaris platform is protected by session border controllers to allow for authorized users to connect securely via the Internet or a private network connection. By leveraging the Lentaris platform, Teliris’ investment in cloud-based infrastructure prevents unauthorized access.
