Pexip, a provider of secure and interoperable video collaboration solutions, and ViewDS Identity Solutions, a specialist in Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) and identity management software, today announced a strategic technology integration. This collaboration embeds ViewDS Access Sentinel, a powerful ABAC authorization policy engine, directly into the Pexip Secure Meetings platform, offering organizations a high level of security and granular control over access to video meetings.
Enhanced Security and Compliance through ABAC
The integration addresses the rapidly growing need for sophisticated, zero-trust security models in video communication, particularly for organizations handling sensitive or classified information in government, defence, and highly-regulated industries.
ViewDS Access Sentinel enables administrators to define authorization policies based on numerous attributes—including user role, security clearance, geographical location, time of day, and device security posture—rather than just simple group membership or role. This dynamic approach ensures that only authorized participants meeting specific, context-aware criteria are permitted to join a video meeting.
Key Benefits of the Integration
- Granular Access Control: Policies can be defined to control who can join, when they can join, from where , and under what conditions , significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
- Zero-Trust Alignment: Enforces ‘least privilege’ access for every meeting connection, aligning with modern zero-trust security architectures.
- Streamlined Compliance: Organizations can more easily meet stringent regulatory requirements (such as healthcare, privacy, and government security mandates) by centralizing and automating complex access rules.
- Dynamic Policy Enforcement: Authorization checks are performed in real-time by ViewDS Access Sentinel, allowing Pexip to immediately enforce policy changes without system downtime.
“For organizations operating in government and defence environments, access control cannot be static or one-size-fits-all. By integrating ViewDS Access Sentinel with Pexip Secure Meetings, we enable policy-driven, context-aware authorization that reflects how these environments actually operate. This gives customers greater control over who can participate in sensitive meetings, under what conditions, and with confidence that access policies are enforced consistently and in real time,” said Jordan Owens, VP and Head of Pexip Secure Meetings.
Bob White, co-founder and CEO of ViewDS, commented, “The integration of Access Sentinel with Pexip’s robust video platform is a natural fit. Video communication is a critical and sensitive business process, and ABAC is the gold standard for dynamic, high-assurance authorization. This collaboration ensures that Pexip users can communicate seamlessly, knowing that their access policies are being rigorously and consistently enforced.”
The integrated solution is available immediately to Pexip customers utilizing the Pexip Secure Meetings offering.
