Tixeo: Secure Video Conferencing against Industrial Espionage
(PRWEB) October 07, 2015 -- Secure video conferencing is a still underestimated issue
The annual cost of industrial espionage now reaches billions of dollars. Thieves mainly target companies and their innovations but also confidential business information. Stealing strategic information from a competitor has become a common business practice and corporate espionage has become a real industry.
Security of video conferences is currently completely neglected despite the strategic information exchanged during an online meeting. Protecting board, business, and technical meetings conducted through video conferencing is not an option!
No trustworthy offer on the market
After several worldwide eavesdropping suspicions, trust in communication tools has been damaged. As confirmed by the NSA deputy director (1): "Every industrialized nation in the world has a lawful intercept program where they are requiring companies to provide them with information that they need for their security, and the companies that are involved have complied with those programs...". Unfortunately, these interception capabilities created for legal purpose can be exploited by hackers to steal confidential information.
Companies that want to hedge these risks usually isolate the communication tools on a private network. This approach can be efficient for internal communications but has the huge disadvantage of restricting the value of these solutions. In fact, it completely excludes external users: customers, suppliers, and partners.
Tixeo is an innovative answer with a unique encryption architecture for video conferencing.
Fully aware of this issue, in its new version, Tixeo offers a true end-to-end encryption for multipoint video conferencing while maintaining a high adaptability to network fluctuations. In addition to the client-to-server encryption (link encryption), all communications are now encrypted from end to end (from client to client). This end-to-end encryption allows an unparalleled level of security for multipoint communications. Even in the case of an attack targeting the Tixeo server, communications privacy is guaranteed.
This innovation has been made possible by the unique SVC on Demand (Scalable Video Coding on Demand) technology created last year by Tixeo’s R&D department. Currently constrained by their technological architecture, no other video conferencing vendor can offer such a level of security.
