Background

Security and compliance are just not enough to make sure that a business runs smoothly. There is one aspect of communications that goes barely unnoticed and still is problematic on many levels. 

Users are, on a daily basis, sending videos and images that contain adult scenes, violence, racism and other loathsome content. That triggers a problem that can have a severe personal and business impact

Webex is not currently offering the ability to detect that kind of content.

Also, detecting unsafe content is not defined by clear rules, mostly because it’s dealing with images and videos. Therefore addressing this need requires serious machine learning involved in both detection and avoiding false positives (labeling safe content as unsafe).

Therefore, Companies deploying communication platforms such as Webex Teams are responsible for keeping the content safe for the users.

This necessity is universal and applies to both small and big-sized organizations alike and especially, educational institutions that deal with minors.
