NTT Bizlink will provide universities and research institutes with a highly secure television video conferencing system developed in cooperation with the National Institute of Informatics free of charge.In response to the growing demand for highly secure video conference systems due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the service is scheduled to start on May 5 after Golden Week.
According to the National Institute of Informatics, the video conference system encrypts the data itself and has the dual security of using VPN (Virtual Private Network) technology.All you have to do is load the software into your personal computer, and you don't need to prepare any special equipment.
The free offer period is scheduled until the end of July.It is expected to be used in places where high confidentiality is required, such as faculty meetings of universities and research institutes, examination committees, and meetings of medical institutions.In the future, we will also develop paid services for commercial use.
With the spread of the new corona infection, telework is being promoted nationwide, but since conferences at universities, research institutes, and medical institutions handle sensitive information, the introduction of a highly confidential video conference system is required. ..
However, the "zoom" of the video conference system caused a series of unauthorized intrusions into the conference room, raising concerns about safety, and concerns about data leakage increased at universities and other institutions.
