The advancement in technology has made everyday tasks less onerous and markedly more efficient. At the same time, it has also increased the probability of malpractice greatly, putting a big question on data security. A continuous topic of discussion and a threat to every innovative product, cybersecurity, is at the top of every software development company’s priority list and Barco is no different.
Cybersecurity, today, is no longer a tick in the box, but a business imperative, an issue that has a direct impact on the balance sheet of an organization. While traditional security systems still exist, today’s AI and data-overloaded world needs new and modern measures.
At Barco, cybersecurity is undoubtedly the focus and Barco products are designed with security in mind – both in hardware, software and even on a process level. They value their customer’s security, privacy and confidentiality, so they develop their products with the utmost respect. The increasing amount of cyber-threats and professional espionage on the one hand and the increased focus on information security from professional organizations, on the other hand, have been driving forces to make security a key feature.
Barco ClickShare products are designed keeping in mind the safety, privacy, and confidentiality of its customers and with every quarterly release, they bring in requisite solutions and advanced features to ensure that their solutions exhibit minimum vulnerability. Barco understands the security requirements of its consumers and has a designated Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) that continuously monitors privacy and security risks and facilitates regular improvements to ensure ClickShare holds on to its reputation of being among the most trusted wireless collaboration solutions available. As a result, they provide more than 500.000 meeting rooms with secured and certified hardware.
In keeping with its thrust on security, Barco obtained the ISO 27001 certification at the beginning of 2019 for ClickShare’s overall security management. The certification vouches for the fact that Barco is not only concerned about security on a product technical level but also aims to consistently improve information security management of all processes involved in the deployment of ClickShare. As part of the certification, Barco undertook an extensive audit of every aspect of ClickShare, including development, sales, deployment and support. Their endgame was to design a fool-proof solution and ensure all security measures were in place to rapidly and effectively deal with cybersecurity issues arising in the future. They also enlist the help of ethical hackers to fix vulnerabilities as and when they arise – thus staying ahead of the “cyber bad boys” and ensuring ClickShare remains one of the most secure and robust solutions in its market. As a company that develops high-quality wireless collaboration solutions, Barco continues to review the impact on products and further validate and implement any relevant mitigation, as they become available, in upcoming firmware updates.
In today’s ever-changing world of technology, Barco believes in enabling bright outcomes for its customers and as they launch the revolutionary ClickShare Conference, tomorrow, they are all set to bring in a new era of conferencing that will change your meetings forever.
