A. General security features
The Boeing -WebEx Meeting Center service
provides the following security features:
- Transmissions between your PC and the
WebEx servers are encrypted using SSL
encryption. Your browser should be configured for
128-bit encryption to meet Boeing security requirements.
- Meetings scheduled on the Boeing-WebEx
site are unlisted and cannot be viewed by others on the Internet.
- A 9-digit meeting number and an
8-character password is required to join a meeting.
- The host can lock a meeting to prevent
people from joining. The host can also eject participants if
needed.
- No meeting data is permanently stored on the
WebEx system.
- WebEx personnel cannot monitor meetings
in progress.
B. Security guidelines for
using the Boeing-WebEx service
1. Sharing data
After extensive reviews, the Boeing Computing Security and
Export Compliance groups have approved the Boeing-WebEx Meeting
Center service for sharing sensitive and non-sensitive information, per these
guidelines:
- The Boeing-WebEx Meeting Center
service can be used to share sensitive and non-sensitive Boeing
information.
This includes the following categories:
- Boeing Proprietary
- Boeing Limited
- Export Controlled (ITAR/EAR)
- Third-Party
Proprietary
- Competition Sensitive
- Business and Technical
- Non-sensitive
- Do not share classified
information on this service. See the appropriate documentation
for procedures on the proper handling of classified information.
- Non-Boeing meeting participants should follow their company's computing
security guidelines when sharing sensitive information during the
meeting.
2. Browser encryption
requirements
The encryption level of your browser
determines the encryption level of your connection to the WebEx
meeting.
- All participant's browsers must be
configured for 128-bit encryption.
- See the Setup your PC document to
determine if you need to upgrade your browser.
3. Restriction on using remote
control and file transfer capability
To meet Boeing Computing Security requirements, two conferencing
features have been disabled on the Boeing-WebEx site:
- You cannot take remote control of another user's
application. This does not affect
your ability to share applications with
others.
- You cannot transfer files between users. If you
need to transfer files with Boeing, then you
should use an approved Boeing file transfer service, such
as the Boeing
Partners Network. Your Boeing meeting host can
provide more information.
4. Protecting meeting numbers and passwords
The Boeing meeting host will send you the
meeting number and password for the WebEx meeting:
- The meeting number and password is confidential
information. Protect the meeting number and password so others
(non-attendees) will not learn this information.
- If you place the meeting number and password on your
electronic (e.g., Outlook) calendar, then select the Private
setting on your calendar.
