Control participants to avoid users with conflicts joining the same meeting. Control activities to block operations that are not allowed. Activity controls are context-aware and can block specific operations when certain groups or users are involved.

SphereShield for Webex performs near-real-time audio and video analysis on recorded Webex meetings. This helps validate meeting attendees using configurable compliance policies.

The system verifies the invitee list for every scheduled meeting. In case of policy violation, users can be removed from the invite and the host can be notified.

Internal control

Responsible for taking care of the image of your company and ensuring the privacy of information that is considered valuable, specifically from external agents.

For example, establish a policy to disable communication flow between investors and researchers. Employees of these departments will not be able to establish communication between them, including messages, calls, and file sharing.

If an employee from the engineering sector has a conversation with an employee from the investors sector, the option of inviting someone from research can be blocked when a communication restriction policy applies.
