Analysis of the Main Security Threats of Videoconferencing Systems

Videoconferencing has become one of the most widespread means of communication in the modern world. In the era of epidemics, social distancing and increased speed of information exchange, videoconferencing has become a key means of interaction between subjects of information exchange in real time. As more and more diverse equipment with varying degrees of internal and external protection against information security threats is used in videoconferencing sessions, these sessions are becoming an increasingly vulnerable target for possible destructive influences. The range of these impacts is quite wide, and a number of system privacy settings are required to prevent them. However, in order to develop a comprehensive security system for videoconferencing, it is necessary to determine an exhaustive list of current threats to information security. This article identifies the main assets, vulnerabilities and potential threats to the videoconferencing system.
