Enterprise-Grade End-to-End Encryption Coming to Lifesize Users

When the world went home, organizations were tasked with not only providing remote work capabilities – and fast at that – but do so securely, as well. CEO to contact center agent, the same challenges exist in this transition: continuing to remain productive and drive revenue through robust cloud communication tools

This week, Lifesize announced free and paid subscription customers will enjoy secure video collaboration via Enterprise Grade end-to-end encryption (E2EE) – a self-proclaimed first for cloud video conferencing and cloud-connecting meeting room devices.

"At this critical juncture for video communication, simply acquiring security IP and retroactively force-fitting it into a massively installed application makes good headlines but is highly problematic," said Bobby Beckmann (News - Alert), chief technology officer at Lifesize.

The pandemic underscored a need for improved conferencing solutions. The caliber of platform  that can emulate face-to-face, in-person engagement, and bring teams together as quarantine pushes them apart. And deliver peace of mind in secure transmissions, in doing. Wasting no time, Liefsize E2EE technology will begin deployment Q3 2020, extending too all Lifesize users in the coming months.

"Security of all our customers’ data and sensitive communications, whether they are using our paid or free service, has always been a core tenet of Lifesize’s product design and engineering culture. Delivering end-to-end encryption to our customers worldwide reinforces our commitment to addressing security challenges head-on and continuing to innovate while prioritizing security and privacy right alongside usability and global scale," Beckman continued.
