Advanced Security

One security feature that is important for large internat webcasts is secure password authentication. This involves using Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology which is used in online music and video downloads for the protection of copyrighted media. Basically DRM is utilized when sensitive online replay media needs to be protected as far as who is authoried to watch the content, how many times they can watch, the length of time and other factors surrounding the security of the information.

It can even authorize which computer the meeting could be viewed on and not allow access to the meeting if passed on to someone else. In a simplistic scenario, each employee is sent a generated use code and password to attend the meeting either live or from an archive. The employee uses some other authentication code, such as an employee number, to sign in. The system then provides a digital certificate that contains that employee's restrictions on viewing the meeting.

Apply this concept to your next company meeting where the CEO maps out your most competitive strategy to maintain your leadership or overtake your top competitors. Now think what would happen if some disgruntled employee passed on the archive of the presentation to your competitors, Devastating? Yes! DRM solves this problem.

Another security feature important to internal company meetings is restricted registration. It is important for companies to have the capability to upload an authorized list of participants and to invite them to view a restricted, confidential web meeting.

Make sure the tool you use for your internal corporate webcasts is able to work within a DRM server framework as well as have secure rigistratoion options.
