Cisco Webex keep meetings secure
Security has always been important, but with the recent increase in online video conferencing (caused by the COVID-19 pandemic), we consider it important to remember some of the basic best practices for keeping WebEx meetings secure. Cisco Webex Keep meetings secure:
Cisco Webex best practices for secure meetings:
Follow these practices and you will have secure meetings without intruders.
Keep the number of Webex administrators to a minimum:
Fewer administrators means fewer opportunities for site configuration errors.
2. Make all meetings not appear in the list:
3. Require passwords for all meetings, events, and sessions:
The most effective step to strengthen the security of all your events, meetings, and training sessions is to require a password. Passwords protect against unauthorized attendees, as only users with access to the password can join. Following the practice of requiring passwords ensures that all meetings, events, and training sessions created by organizers are secure.
4. Requiring the meeting password when logging in from a telephone or videoconferencing system.
In addition to requiring passwords when users join from a meeting application (for example, on Windows or Mac), you should also enforce the password requirement on users joining from videoconferencing systems or telephones. When this option is selected, the system automatically generates an eight-digit numeric password for attendees joining from a phone or videoconferencing systems and adds it to the meeting invitation. This ensures that only people who have an invitation can join the meeting when using a telephone or videoconferencing system.
5. Require login when joining a meeting, event or training session:
Use this for any meeting that is internal only, with no guest users.
We recommend that you ask all users who have an account on your Webex site if confidential meetings, events or training sessions are located there. When enabled, in addition to organizers, attendees must also present their credentials when attempting to enter a meeting, event or training session.
In addition to requiring login at your site, we recommend that you require attendees to log in when dialing in from a phone. This prevents anyone from entering the meeting or training session without proper credentials.
