Video Furnace warns of IP video delivery security threats at Motion Imagery Standards Board conference

(PRLEAP.COM) LIBERTYVILLE, Ill. – Dec. 20, 2007 – As video and streaming video make greater inroads into network computing environments, serious security threats have emerged that require organizations to be extra vigilant, said Joe Gaucher, CTO of Video Furnace (www.videofurnace.com), a leading provider of enterprise-class IP video solutions. He outlined the chief areas of weak security in the majority of IP video solutions recently at the Motion Imagery Standards Board Conference 2007 in Herndon, Va.

“There are many reasons to utilize streaming video in the enterprise, including training, live event broadcasts, real-time news distribution, digital signage and security monitoring, but today’s mainstream video and streaming video applications may leave the network wide open to attack,” said Gaucher.

The majority of the security issues reported in the media recently hinge upon media player, browser and data-at-rest vulnerabilities, and they will persist and proliferate if they are not specifically addressed, he said.

Gaucher concluded his presentation with a demonstration of the Video Furnace IP video solution, which eliminates resident media players and adds the strongest encryption layer of security on the video streams to ensure the safe delivery and deployment of IP video in network computing environments.
