RHUB’s Web Conferencing Appliance Provides Way Better Security than any Hosted Solution

September 18, 2008

Security is the number one concern of any organization when it comes to using their web conferencing solution. Wire tapping and unauthorized access to web meetings is a common issue faced by companies worldwide. Most hosted solutions in the market do take care of transmission security issues like wire tapping by using the popular SSL encryption. Some vendors use SSL encryption along with their own proprietary encryption for enhanced transmission security.

But there is a huge concern and question mark when it comes to access security. Unauthorized access to private company web meetings have become a nuisance and irritating for more companies than previously imagined. Hosted web conferencing solution providers are the worst hit as they use simple meeting IDs and passwords for attendees to provide access to web conferencing sessions. These login details are normally emailed to a user and this is where the main problem arises. Emailed login details can be easily compromised and a hacker can capture a computer screen within seconds and once they intercept or guess the meetings ID, they have complete access to the company web conferencing system and sensitive information.

Industry analyzers believe that instead of hosted web conferencing solutions, deploying web conferencing appliances is the way to go to tackle the access security menace. RHUB’s on-premise secure web conferencing appliance is one of the best ways of handling security issues and at the same time it is the most affordable option.

Being an on-premise appliance, RHUB’s secure web conferencing system can be deployed in various ways such as behind firewall for internal meetings only, DMZ for internal as well as external meetings and outside firewall for external meetings.

RHUB’s secure web conferencing system allows you to check an option in the appliance to tell the system that the current web meeting is for internal attendees only and the system will automatically reject anyone trying to login from outside the network or outside your firewall.

Even when you use RHUB’s Remote Access Appliance along with the web conferencing system, RHUB takes care of complete security as none of the session passwords are stored in any database either locally or in the remote machines. The passwords are irreversibly encrypted and transmitted via SSL. In fact by default a screen image is transmitted with RHUB’s proprietary encryption for added security and efficiency.

Also no one can access the RHUB’s web conferencing appliance without your knowledge including RHUB staff themselves. The appliance comes with self protection and you can simply place the appliance outside of your firewall and router. Even if you need support from RHUB’s staff, you can login to the console as a system administrator and execute a special command. This ensures that the remote support staff that accesses your appliance cannot retrieve user passwords or passwords for remote access meetings.

RHUB’s secure web conferencing system even allows you to restrict access via IP addresses in addition to your firewall. It is as good as setting up your own mini VPN system and no hosted web conferencing solution can come near to the security that can be provided by using RHUB’s web conferencing appliance.

September 18, 2008

Ever had the need to log on to your main computer at home while traveling? Almost all of us who are working on important projects know that no matter where you are, you will always have the need to check on your main computer back home. And also almost all of us know the feeling of complete helplessness when such a need occurs.

Now with RHUB’s TurboMeeting, you do not need to worry about accessing your remote PC anymore. RHUB’s TurboMeeting is one of the most advanced and secure remote access tool that you can get. It allows you to access any of your remote computers whether at home or at office via your laptop.

This remote access solution by RHUB always stays connected to the remote computers even if they are restarted or the power is recycled for any reason. You can take control of the remote desktop at any time from your laptop even if you are vacationing at Hawaii or some other exotic location. You can connect to your important files and work on data stored in the remote machines.

Of course one of the main concerns that arise with such a remote access system is security. Well luckily for you, RHUB’s remote access solution is one of the most secure systems in the industry today. To begin with, the password of the remote access meeting session is irreversibly encrypted in the database. The password is never saved anywhere including on the remote and local computers. In addition to this, when the password is transmitted over the internet, it is encrypted via SSL for dual protection.

If that is not enough, this remote access system also allows you to lock your computer remotely, again not mattering where you are currently located. You can lock your computer anytime and at anyplace.

Another really much required feature provided by RHUB is that if you are in a web meeting or need to give access to another user to the files in your remote computer, you can actually invite up to two additional users to access the same remote computer for collaboration. After the session is over, simply lock your computer or change the password and your computer is secure again.

Even if you are a system administrator and usually manage the full range of computers in your office, you can do so with RHUB’s remote access appliance which is capable of remotely accessing up to 1000 computers that too with on-premise security at a throw away price.

It can access any of your machines in your office even if you are behind a corporate firewall without compromising on security in any way. Also being an appliance, RHUB’s remote access system does not require you to open any inbound TCP ports unlike the software solutions available in the market. As a result, you can extend the scope of the remote access system in a number of ways like providing remote support to your clients and even configuring client machines from the comfort of your home.
