VQ Conference Manager
The foundations of your self-hosted Cisco Meeting Server collaboration service: Deliver security, high-availability, and setup automation
Defense-grade security
Comprehensive safeguards
To support secure, private meetings at scale, VQ Conference Manager can be used in self-hosted and air-gapped environments.
It includes:
- User identity management via Active Directory/LDAP integration
- Single sign-on (SSO) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) via SAML 2.0 systems
- Role-based access control
- Multi-tenancy
Meeting protections
VQ Conference Manager includes a range of controls to keep meetings private.
These include granular permissions settings, passcode protection, limited-duration meeting spaces, waiting lobbies, and other rules.
These safeguards are part of our Meeting Services product.
FIPS compliant & DISA validated
Rest easy, knowing your conferencing service is built on a FIPS-compliant platform, and has been independently validated by the US Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC). VQ Conference Manager is on the US Department of Defense Information Network (DoDIN) Approved Products List (APL).
