Secure and Universal Connectivity

Keep your information secure

WebEx on-demand collaborative meeting applications provide secure and universal connectivity to our MediaTone™ Network 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 MediaTone Network and are never persistently stored in the WebEx infrastructure, reducing opportunities for invasion or theft of private data and information.

Our rigorous approach to collaboration security includes a multi-layer security model.

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.
  • Site security provides customer-defined services admission, management, and access. This level of security controls password protection, branded-site access, and visibility of scheduled meetings, as set by your meeting administrators.
  • Meeting security grants attendee privileges, feature access, expulsion, and communication. The host (presenter) can regulate the various attendee access levels, including in-meeting rights, the ability to save or print documents, chat, and other options.
  • Network security includes document encryption, Secure-Socket Layer (SSL), intrusion control, and non-persistent data. Admission to sessions without meeting manager authentication is prohibited. Documents are encrypted at this level via AES.
  • 3rd party audits and certifications are conducted by prestigious outside institutions, including WebTrust (AICPA Audit), SAS-70 Type II (AICPA Audit), and a SSL 128 Bit Certificate from VeriSign. We comply with security standards and undergo rigorous annual audits by these institutions.
Facilities Security
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.
