Cellcrypt Launches Secure Mobile Phone Conference Calling |
Cellcrypt has
launched a secure conference service that provides both device authentication and
voice call encryption to participants using popular mobile phones like BlackBerry
and Nokia smartphones.
Organisations depend on conference calls to run their daily operations and often discuss
confidential and highly sensitive information on calls such as sales, supplier and
executive management meetings, intellectual property discussions, high value business
deal talks, crisis management calls or even discussions concerning disaster scenarios
and national security.
But traditional conference calling services are open to abuse through unauthorised
access. Where access security is in place for conference calls, it is often poorly
managed with dial-in details and PINs seldom changing. A commonly reported scenario
is for ex-employees to continue to access regular conference calls or pass details
to unauthorised personnel.
Furthermore, as participants have become more dispersed, they often access conference
calls using mobile phones, which are increasingly at risk of interception.
The Cellcrypt Secure Conference Service both authenticates the participant’s mobile
phone and encrypts conversations end-to-end between each participant and the conference
bridge, to ensure important conversations, from team briefings to board calls, remain
confidential.
The conference calling service is easy-to-use, with participants simply selecting
a bridge number from their Cellcrypt Mobile enabled Blackberry or Nokia smartphone
to enter the call. Office phones can also securely participate in conference calls
when connected via Cellcrypt’s Enterprise Gateway solution.
Organisations can manage conference calls using a simple web console to define all
users that may access the conferencing service, create bridge numbers, define policies
such as user white lists and additional access PINs. Optionally, a bridge may allow
access from selected public telephones using Caller ID and PINs for authentication
in geographies where the threat of interception is regarded as controlled (the call
segments from public telephones are not encrypted).
The service builds on Cellcrypt’s existing solutions that provide encrypted voice
calls on mobile phones, such as BlackBerry and Nokia smartphones, delivering government-grade
security in an easy-to-use application that makes highly secure calling as easy as
making a normal phone call. Utilising the IP data channel it supports all major wireless
networks, Wi-Fi® and satellite. Encryption is government-grade and certified to FIPS
140-2 standard by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology.
