If you want to keep your organization’s network and content secure – this is the #1 feature you need to look for for your collaboration spaces.
Wireless HDMI presentation systems are incredibly popular for corporate and government meeting rooms and shared collaboration spaces like WeWork. While they are convenient, if they are not properly secured, then there is a risk that hackers, disgruntled employees, and other bad actors can wirelessly record confidential presentations or use them to gain unauthorized access to your network. Sound farfetched? Consider that in 2019 eight different systems had vulnerabilities so severe that hackers could use them to shut down an entire network. There is a simple way to ensure that your wireless technology used in your meeting room doesn’t open a back door to bad guys – ISO 27001 Certification.
According to Futuresource, there were approximately 1.5 million wireless presentation systems sold last year worldwide. Over 40 different brands are selling these systems, ranging from established display brands such as BenQ (#1 brand of DLP projectors) and Barco (leading digital cinema projector), and several other companies such as Airtame (a privately held crowdsource startup), and networking companies such as Mersive and Actiontec (Screenbeam). While nearly all brands claim they have “enterprise-grade” security –the only two models that pass the industry standard ISO 27001 certification test are the Barco ClickShare and BenQ InstaShow.
The ISO 27001 certification is the only auditable international standard that defines the requirements of an information security management system. It is a documented set of policies, procedures, processes, and systems that manages the risks of data loss from cyber-attacks, hacks, data leaks or theft. If your company has presentations that involve confidential data such as product road maps, executive salary schedules, or future acquisition plans, the consequences of having those presentations recorded can be devastating. Both companies produce detailed security white papers on their products enabling IT managers to research any potential threats and integration issues, and their systems are tested by third-party agencies to ensure they hold up under the toughest of attacks.
