Keep your information secure
You wouldn't hold a new product brainstorming session
in the restaurant next to your competitor, scribble notes on a napkin, and
then leave those notes lying around. Do you want to hold your online meetings
over a public network, across multiple insecure servers, leaving traces behind
long after your meeting is over?
WebEx on-demand collaborative meeting applications provide secure and universal
connectivity to our Collaboration Cloud switches via the Internet, allowing your users to connect and
collaborate at any time from any place without requiring modifications to
your security infrastructure. WebEx encrypts all session content with Secure
Socket Layer (SSL) technology to deliver the high level of protection required
for enterprise data communications. Session contents are switched through
the Collaboration Cloud , and are never persistently stored in the WebEx infrastructure,
reducing opportunities for invasion or theft of private data and information.
WebEx is the only on-demand online collaboration service provider to have
earned both WebTrust and SAS70 certification, giving you the highest levels
of security possible. Our multi-layer security model consists of:
- System Architecture -- The Cisco WebEx Collaboration Cloud and
all the WebEx services are specifically architected without the need for
persistent storage of any meeting data within the WebEx infrastructure.
Dynamic meeting content displayed during a WebEx session originates only
from a Presenter's desktop. Attendees see only graphical representations
of this data.
- Firewall Compatibility -- WebEx services can communicate
through standard HTTP and secure SSL ports. Customers are not required to
reconfigure their firewalls to enable online meetings.
- Authentication -- WebEx provides a secure framework
for conducting live, interactive meetings. Added security elements include:
password protected meetings, visual identification, invitation only meetings,
locked and unlisted meetings.
- Encryption -- WebEx never sends meeting content in clear
text. We offer a secure SSL option or use the Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES) for transmitting data to and from clients to the WebEx servers, if
the SSL option is not purchased.
- Integrated security -- Integrated 128-bit SSL encryption for all meeting services,
enabling the most sensitive and confidential online meetings. Hardware SSL
accelerators within the Collaboration Cloud; infrastructure ensure a secure and highly
scalable service from end to end.
WebEx meeting services are provided by points of presence
(POPs) in various geographic locations. All WebEx Data Center facilities are
extremely secure. This includes physical access, access to equipment and the
network.
