Ensuring Data Privacy and Secure Wireless Conferencing in the Age of Hybrid Work

The shift to hybrid work models, combining remote and in-office work, has brought flexibility and convenience—but also new challenges in data privacy and security. Employees accessing sensitive information from multiple devices and locations increase the risk of breaches, especially during video conferences and wireless meetings.

ASTROS Conference provides a secure solution for wireless conferencing and screen sharing, helping organizations protect sensitive data while enabling seamless collaboration. Here’s how to safeguard your data and enhance privacy when using ASTROS.

1. Secure Access with Passwords

Protect your ASTROS wireless network by:

• Setting strong passwords for ASTROS Manager, the system that allows IT staff to configure ASTROS Stations. Change default passwords immediately to prevent unauthorized access.

• Using login codes displayed on the ASTROS Station standby screen, ensuring that only room participants can share screens or view content.

These steps help prevent external parties from intercepting or viewing confidential information. For setup guidance, refer to the ASTROS user manual.

2. Robust Encryption

ASTROS prioritizes security with advanced encryption protocols:

• WPA2 encryption secures your wireless network.

• TLS encryption protects all communications between devices.

• Authenticated encryption ensures that video and audio transmissions remain private and tamper-proof.

3.Share Content Without Installing Software

Installing unverified software can introduce security risks. ASTROS eliminates this concern by enabling wireless screen sharing without additional software:

• Simply connect the ASTROS Pod to your device and press the button to start your video call.

• No Wi-Fi configuration or extra downloads are required, reducing exposure to potential vulnerabilities.

4. Educate Employees on Data Privacy

Employee awareness is key to maintaining a secure hybrid workspace. Train teams on:

• Handling sensitive information responsibly

• Avoiding suspicious links or unauthorized downloads

• Protecting personal and organizational credentials

• Understanding privacy rights and compliance standards
