So here’s the thing about video conferencing security – most people think it’s just about setting a password and you’re good to go. Wrong. Dead wrong.
I learned this the hard way when my biggest client got hit. Picture this: their CFO is presenting Q3 numbers to the board. Halfway through, some kid starts blasting music and showing… well, let’s just say inappropriate content. Turns out they’d been using the same meeting room for six months. No password. No waiting room. Nothing.
That was my wake-up call. Been in IT for almost two decades, and I’d never seen executives so shaken. The CFO actually asked if they should go back to in-person meetings only. In 2024!
Here’s what I wish someone had told me years ago: video conferencing isn’t just convenient – it’s a massive attack surface if you don’t know what you’re doing.
