IP shielding enables secure voice and video conferencing

There's a great deal of emphasis on securing data and email, but essential business communication via voice and video tends to get ignored. Yet these communications are vulnerable, partly because devices constantly release metadata, telling the network where and how to route communications.

To address this, Privacy-as-a-Service platform specialist Dispel is launching a secure voice and video conferencing service, a single application designed to provide enterprises and individuals with impenetrable private communications on their smartphones and mobile devices.

"Parallel with the increased use of encryption, big data analysis and behavioral inference have become the techniques of choice for technically sophisticated parties attempting to decipher what companies, governments, and persons of interest are communicating, as well as where their assets are located," says Ethan Schmertzler, CEO of Dispel. "Accessible metadata lets competitors pre-emptively learn of deals by searching and monitoring tracked executive communications for patterns. Governments can locate journalists and trace back to their sources. ISIS can locate human rights workers. Intelligent criminals can track law enforcement to cloak illicit activities".

Using Dispel's platform, each conversation is twice encrypted using AES-256 with unique 2048-bit RSA for initial key exchange. What's more companies retain full chain of custody over all data and materials, and there's packet-level anonymity.

The Dispel platform leverages five major cloud providers -- Amazon, Softlayer, Digital Ocean, Vultr and Rackspace -- with operations in numerous countries. It's built on an unattributable, multi-cloud ephemeral infrastructure, the data Dispel protects is constantly in motion, presenting a moving target that hackers cannot find or attack.

Dispel's voice and video components are available for Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android, with iOS support coming soon. Visit the company's website to find out more.
