In today's connected environment, security breaches can come from unexpected places. In early 2019, Tenable found significant security flaws in multiple wireless presentation systems that exposed company networks to hackers – even denial of service attacks.
While using traditional HDMI cables is very secure, the cost of putting them through walls, ceilings, and floors is expensive. Solutions for wireless presentation that enable screen mirroring from your device to a display, on the other hand, offer the ability to have multiple presenters share the screen during a business meeting at a much lower cost. But if the system is not secure and opens the door to having your network hacked– it could be one of the most expensive “cost savings” ever.
There are three primary screen mirroring security risks that you should make sure to address when evaluating a wireless screen mirroring system for your business meeting and conference rooms:
- Unauthorized network access
- Unauthorized content access
- No manufacturer support
Fortunately, there are also easy ways to mitigate these as well. Here are some best practices to address these risks and secure your wireless presentation.
