London, United Kingdom
Codian Ltd., a leading manufacturer of video conferencing infrastructure products, today announced that its flagship products have been independently tested and approved by West Coast Labs. The rigorous tests, conducted on the firewall functionality of its MCU 4200 and IP VCR 2200 range, confirm that Codian offers effective protection against probes, malware and other hacking attacks.
"Many business are waking up to the opportunities that video conferencing has to offer and in doing so are looking for the peace of mind that any hardware they deploy in their network has the defences required to protect against intrusion," said David Holloway, CEO at Codian. "We are committed to excellence in the industry and developed our firewall feature to exceed market expectations, offering all businesses the assurance they need."
Codian's MCU 4200 is the most powerful video conferencing bridge available, while the IP VCR 2200 series is a digital recorder specifically designed for video conferencing deployments. Codian's robust video firewall option ensures that voice and video calls can be made over the public Internet without opening access to data on an organization's private internal network.
David Holloway continued, "Today's business environment is rife with threats from hackers and each new technology deployment brings with it a new set of challenges. It's essential that communications technology is designed to combat such risks. Codian develops products that meet these ever changing, real-world needs and we were confident that our products would pass West Coast Labs extensive testing."
"As well as proving totally effective in dealing with an extensive range of targeted, real-world attacks, we were equally impressed with the simplicity of set up and ease of use as we tested the Codian products," said Chris Thomas, Operations Director at West Coast Labs. "After subjecting these products through hundreds of thousands of specific TCP/IP based tests, no security weaknesses were found."
The Codian MCU 4200 series delivers high-quality voice and video with an easy to use, versatile interface. Its Universal Port(TM) technology supports any codec, any speed, resolution and layout on any port without loss of capacity or capability. It is also the only MCU that allows users to stream video, audio and content to any web browser without the need for additional hardware or software.
Codian's IP VCR 2200 series of digital recorders are designed for video conferencing, enabling businesses of all sizes to save video content for future viewing. The IP-based system records, streams live and replays voice and video on demand to any PC or any video conferencing endpoint.
