Understanding VidyoGateway Security
This section of the guide shows you how to secure your VidyoGateway. For more information
about securing your entire VidyoConferencing system, refer to the security section in the
VidyoConferencing Administrator Guide.
Before we secure the VidyoGateway, it’s important to understand there are two security layers
available for your VidyoConferencing system:
HTTPS – The web standard involves setting up HTTPS and using Secure Socket Layer (SSL).
This ensures secure browsing on VidyoGateway.
While support for HTTPS is standardly included in Vidyo products, it does require the purchase
and/or acquisition of SSL certificate(s) from a valid CA (Certificate Authority). You may
implement HTTPS without enabling Vidyo’s Encryption to implement secure browsing only.
Enabling HTTPS secure browsing establishes secure connections between browsers and
VidyoGateway Admin Pages.
HTTPS uses standard SSL certification to provide secured browsing to these web pages,
protecting usernames and passwords, and actions performed on the pages. Confidential
information shared during a VidyoGateway browsing session is protected from phishing and
hacking attempts.
Encryption – This is an additionally purchased Vidyo licensed feature (referred to as the
Secured VidyoConferencing Option) which provides encrypted endpoint management,
signaling and media for end-to-end security for your entire VidyoConferencing system.
Note
This feature is first enabled on your VidyoPortal, and then on your VidyoGateway.
