Is Your Collaboration Platform a Security Disaster Waiting to Happen?
In a world where hybrid work and hybrid learning have become increasingly common, we need effective ways of collaborating with each other more than ever. But collaboration can’t come at the expense of security.
Unfortunately, some of the collaboration platforms out there leave a lot to be desired on this front.

In a world where hybrid work and hybrid learning have become increasingly common, we need effective ways of collaborating with each other more than ever. But collaboration can’t come at the expense of security.
Unfortunately, some of the collaboration platforms out there leave a lot to be desired on this front.
School board meeting
Sally used a collaboration platform for a school board meeting, and some wiseacres hijacked the presenter privileges and started displaying inappropriate images.
Webex would’ve headed off that disaster with features that can prevent unauthorized attendees from joining meetings and functionality that enables the moderator to selectively enable or disable file sharing.

Virtual classroom
Todd used a different platform for a virtual classroom during lockdown, and a couple of students decided to start shouting obscenities back and forth rather than paying attention in class – ensuring that no one learned anything that day.
Webex would’ve prevented that with powerful tools for moderators that let them control the space rather than being controlled by it.

Privileged Information
Max used another platform for a call with all the senior partners at the firm – but she didn’t realize that a junior associate was also on the call, listening to all the privileged information being shared about salaries and bonuses.
With Webex, your company has ways to prevent forwarding of invites and ensure that only invited users can join meetings, and to automatically put unauthenticated attendees in a waiting room.

Jerome thought the collaboration platform he was using offered end-to-end encryption. It turned out that not only was it lacking that feature, the vendor deliberately misled customers by saying that it did.
