Conduct web conferences in a data-secure manner - with Swiss solution
The current crisis situation has led to an enormous increase in video and audio conferencing. However, especially for industries with sensitive data, this dynamic development also poses risks in terms of data protection. A Swiss web conferencing solution offers a remedy here.
Currently, many people work from home. Instead of physical meetings, web conferences are increasingly being held. Free solutions such as Zoom or similar web-based web conferencing solutions have correspondingly high user numbers. However, some of these solutions have their limitations when it comes to data security.
Web conferencing over encrypted connections
An alternative based on high security standards is the web conferencing solution Veeting Rooms, which has been available since 2014 from the Swiss company Veeting Inc. is operated. Now the company has tripled the capacity for its service in the short term, but continues to guarantee the usual high level of data security: the entire audio and video conversation at Veeting Rooms works via encrypted connections, and all data is stored exclusively in Switzerland in ISO 27001-certified data centers or in the own network of local sales partners or customers.
Also pay attention to data security during evaluation
Fabian Bernhard, founder and CEO of Veeting AG, takes a critical view of the growth explosion in web conferencing services, and not just because of the tragic trigger provided by the COVID 19 pandemic: "Many companies are suddenly under great pressure to find quick solutions for employees' forced home offices. With a view to data protection, this may well lead to careless decisions that are difficult to reverse later." Bernhard therefore advises companies to check carefully, even under time pressure, whether the selected web conferencing solution meets European data protection guidelines and, above all, their own compliance requirements.
Free offer for companies
Veeting Rooms has been used for years by financial and consulting companies, in human resources or by organizations in the healthcare industry. Worldwide, Veeting works with renowned sales partners who are familiar with the specific market requirements - in Switzerland, these include the xtendx AG as a strategic partner in the enterprise video sector or the peoplefone AG, in Germany, autphone GmbH, which peoplefone GmbH and the TeamFON GmbH. In addition to various standard meetings, Veeting Rooms also offers end-to-end encrypted off-the-record veetings or webinar rooms. 30-minute web conferences with up to five participants are available free of charge during the Corona crisis, and Veeting AG donates a further 20% of direct sales to local social organizations: "The help should reach those who are actually in an existential emergency due to the current situation," Bernhard explains this decision.
