Security backed by the cloud

Created by the team behind Google Voice, every Dialpad Ai Meetings account is encrypted and backed up on the Google Cloud Platform. When you join a conference line from the web, the setup for the call is protected by DTLS, and once the conference begins, your audio and/or video is protected by SRTP, a secure protocol designed specifically for transferring real time media.

The risks of unsecured conference calls

Video and audio hacking

There's no shortage of news about conference calls being hacked or "Zoom-bombed." There are surprisingly many people who search online for dial-in details to enter video and audio conferences. Best-case scenario, it’s a prank, but worst-case, someone’s out to steal your information. Conferencing solutions like Dialpad can help prevent hackers by letting you lock the call and keep your details secure.

Data leaks and breaches

This is when sensitive information about your company or customers (such as phone numbers and passwords) is leaked to unauthorised people. It could be caused by a deliberate attack, or—more likely—a mistake by an employee. If your conference call service doesn’t use robust encryption, other people may be able to access the data transmitted during calls.

Client interception

Once your VoIP phone system has been hacked or breached, a fraudster would have the ability to intercept conference calls or messaging, or even to masquerade as an employee.

A better way to manage your conference call's privacy

With Dialpad, you get far more than just the basic functionalities of a conferencing system.

You or your admin can easily adjust privacy and security settings for the whole company, and control which team members access conference call features like PINs, recordings, and joining permissions.
