In most companies, meeting rooms and board rooms are where executives explore alternative ideas and make decisions. Typically, presentation decks, spreadsheets, and contracts associated with these decisions are up on display. As more meeting rooms transition from cables to wireless presentation systems , how do you ensure that confidential information stays that way?
Wireless presentation systems are unique in that they broadcast content from the users’ device over the air – or via a network to a display. While this may seem innocuous for most people, savvy IT managers know that these signals are at risk of being intercepted. For example, one popular wireless presentation platform warns that unless specific steps are taken, their system “ can be vulnerable to user and network security breaches, including unauthorized user access, screen capture and recording, unauthorized changes to configuration settings, and denial-of-service attacks.”
According to cybersecurity expert Ken Buckler, there are three simple ways to protect your wireless system from the catastrophes listed above. While no system is completely immune to security threats, taking the following steps will help enhance your wireless security.
