Not to worry, we will tell you everything you need to know, so read on.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h5--main h5--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3 ui-mt-md-1\">1. Call encryption<\/h3>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">Maintaining data privacy is key to any business, so most VoIP platforms implement end-to-end call encryption to ensure <a href=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com\/features\/core\/secure-communications.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">secure communications<\/a>. Call encryption is a VoIP security measure that blocks third parties from accessing the data exchanged during calls to guarantee safe communication and user privacy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">With call encryption in place, your VoIP software converts shared data or content into a code and transfers it safely from one endpoint to another (i.e., from sender to intended receiver). Even when unauthorized parties intercept your data in transit, they won\u2019t be able to decrypt it or listen in because the encryption guarantees that information stays between you and the person (or people) on the call. Depending on your VoIP provider, you can easily set up this feature from the \u201csecurity\u201d section in settings, and you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">Ensure to only use a VoIP providerthat implements end-to-end encryption and other security measures like:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ui-list ui-list--medium\" style=\"margin-bottom: 18px;\">\n<li class=\"ui-list__item ui-list__item--disc\">Two-factor authentication<\/li>\n<li class=\"ui-list__item ui-list__item--disc\">Enabled Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP), etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UD99wy2T8FQ?si=nIwRWG1w9Qjzdn3_\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h5--main h5--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3 ui-mt-md-1\">2. Train your team to prevent cyberattacks<\/h3>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">Contrary to popular belief, cybersecurity is not a one-person job; it is an all-hands-on-deck situation and requires everyone to play their part in ensuring a solid security culture. There are many ways to achieve a secure digital environment, including the implementation of multi-factor authentication and regular security audits.<\/p>\n<div class=\"accent-note ui-mb-sm-1\">\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text\">\u201cEven the bravest cyber defense will experience defeat when weaknesses are neglected\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">Stephane Nappo<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">When employees know the consequences of overlooked careless actions like sharing conference call links, passcodes, or toll numbers indiscriminately and how it can pose a tremendous threat to the company, they will develop a stronger sense of security, especially when sensitive tools like a <a href=\"https:\/\/hightouch.com\/blog\/what-is-a-customer-data-platform-cdp\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">customer data platform<\/a> are integrated into communication systems.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h5--main h5--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3 ui-mt-md-1\">3. Always keep meeting ID in mind<\/h3>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">Using the same meeting ID for every call session is not advisable, as it can be detrimental. Uninvited intruders can get access to previously used meeting IDs and join conference calls to either create a nuisance or steal sensitive information.<\/p>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">Therefore, try to generate or use a per-meeting ID for every meeting rather than a personal ID.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h5--main h5--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3 ui-mt-md-1\">4. Add a meeting password<\/h3>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">In real life, we sometimes need verification to access certain buildings, meetings, or events; the same rule can be applied to online conference meetings. Passwords play a critical role in providing an additional layer of <a href=\"https:\/\/scalefusion.com\/access-management-solution\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">security against unauthorized access<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">Creating a password for critical meetings ensures uninvited attendees don\u2019t have access to them, making it a safe space for free communication. Always create strong passwords, and never share your passwords indiscriminately. Using a reliable <a href=\"https:\/\/1password.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">password management<\/a> is highly recommended to generate and store complex, unique passwords for all your accounts.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h5--main h5--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3 ui-mt-md-1\">5. Lock the meeting from your participant\u2019s list once all attendees are \u201cready to go\u201d<\/h3>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">Thankfully, many teleconferencing tools enable you to virtually lock a meeting space once everyone you invite has joined. Enabling this feature will block any meeting bomber from entering or listening in without being invited and curb data breaching. Additionally, consider using data privacy management to further enhance your data security efforts.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h5--main h5--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3 ui-mt-md-1\">6. Record your teleconference meetings<\/h3>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">Most VoIP tools have a call recordingfeature that enables meeting hosts to record conference calls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">People record <a href=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com\/blog\/reviews-comparisons\/what-is-teleconferencing.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">teleconference<\/a> meetings for different reasons; while some record for training, others record for reference sake. Regardless of your reason, it\u2019s vital to record critical meetings to ensure a safe communication space.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-37181 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/head-6-627x470.png\" alt=\"Record your teleconference meetings\" width=\"863\" height=\"647\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/head-6-627x470.png 627w, https:\/\/trueconf.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/head-6-768x575.png 768w, https:\/\/trueconf.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/head-6.png 785w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 863px) 100vw, 863px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">Usually, once you begin, it will notify every participant that the meeting is being recorded. For most tools, this is indicated by a blinking red circle at the top or bottom of the screen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">Not only does this feature help you keep track of meeting activities and participants, but it can also scare away uninvited attendees with malicious intentions. Out of courtesy, always remember to notify all participants before you record.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h5--main h5--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3 ui-mt-md-1\">7. Keep your calling software top-notch and up-to-date<\/h3>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">Regardless of your need for conference calling software, you owe it to yourself and your business to choose the best.<\/p>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">Developing excellent cyber hygiene or best practices doesn\u2019t just end with choosing the best tool because hackers get more creative with their strategies by the day. So, it would be best if you also carried out frequent software updates and regularly tested your tool\u2019s security limits. Doing this prepares you to catch threats as early as possible before they become full-blown attacks.<\/p>\n<style>\n\t.accent-card {<br \/>\n\t    \/*background: url(\/images\/common\/backgrounds\/blue-semi-transparent-rounded-squares-1138-x-510.svg) 50% 50% \/ cover no-repeat;*\/<br \/>\n\t    border-radius: 12px;<br \/>\n\t\tpadding: 40px 28px;<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n\t@media screen and (max-width: 576px) {<br \/>\n\t\t.accent-card {<br \/>\n\t\t\tpadding: 24px;<br \/>\n\t\t}<br \/>\n\t}<br \/>\n<\/style>\n<div style=\"background: #00B3CD; border-radius: 12px; padding: 24px;\">\n<h2 class=\"h4--main h4--thick white-text center-text ui-mb-xs-3\">Take your team communication to the next level with TrueConf!<\/h2>\n<p class=\"primary-smallest-text white-text center-text ui-mb-sm-3\">A powerful self-hosted video conferencing solution for up to 1,000 users, available on desktop, mobile, and room systems.<\/p>\n<div class=\"button-group-container button-group-container--center\"><a class=\"default-button default-button--sm default-button--orange default-button--rounded default-button--truncate default-button__download-icon default-button--left-icon white-icon\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com\/downloads\/trueconf-server\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"default-button__text white-text\">Dowload Now!<\/span><br \/>\n<\/a><a class=\"primary-smallest-text to-page to-page--rarr white-icon white-text\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/trueconf.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Learn more<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"h5--main h5--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3 ui-mt-md-1\">Bonus point: enable a virtual waiting room<\/h3>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">Having a virtual waiting room that requires the meeting host to verify participants before adding them to a teleconference call adds an extra layer of protection. It is ideal for meetings with many attendees, as it helps you to deny access to the people that may have randomly stumbled on the meeting link.<\/p>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">One crucial element of securing your business\u2019s teleconference calls is understanding and monitoring potential vulnerabilities within your systems. Implementing consistent <a href=\"https:\/\/intel.intruder.io\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CVE threat monitoring<\/a> can identify risks and protect against known exploits targeting telecommunication software.<\/p>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">Doing this also gives your invited participants a sense of security, knowing that no unwanted person lurks in the shadows to steal personal information or leak data.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"h4--main h4--thick black-text ui-mb-xs-3 ui-mt-md-1\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p class=\"primary-medium-text ui-mb-sm-1\">Cybercriminals are not relenting in their quest to cause havoc.
