Strategies to Safeguard Users

It is very important that we safeguard all our technology so that everyone is protected against possible inappropriate situations. It is also possible when using Video Conferencing that you could be blackmailed through recording a conference. However, it is illegal to record any voice or video calls without the other person’s permission. Two ways to safeguard you are:

1. Trusting whom you are having a Video Conference for a business meeting with. Goes along with #2; to make sure that you know whom exactly you’re meeting with and what the rules of the meeting are. (Such as: only discussing certain information, and who is involved in the meeting.)

2. Keeping personal information personal. Not giving out any information such as address, credit card information or lifestyle information. Making sure that when you have a Videoconference you know who is on the other line, and making sure any unknown people are able to be involved in the conference.

To conclude, knowing whom you’re meeting with is especially important. Protecting yourself is very important, and if you are using this technology as a part of a business you need to protect the business to so it cannot be sabotaged or anything of that sort.
