Enhanced Authentication In this topic:Use GlobalMeet’s Enhanced Authentication feature to increase security and prevent unauthorized fraudulent usage of your account.

Enhanced Authentication is a GlobalMeet® feature that protects your meetings from fraudulent callers dialing in from specific international locations. Enhanced Authentication must be enabled for those hosts/participants who wish to join a meeting from the following locations:

  • Brazil
  • China
  • India
  • Malaysia
  • Philippines
  • Taiwan

The following security features will be required when using the Enhanced Authentication feature.

  • 10-digit random passcode: System-generated, random 10-digit passcodes for both moderator and participant will make it more difficult for fraudulent users to access and compromise a meeting.
  • Music on hold until host joins (MOH): To increase security and ensure meetings are not occurring without the presence of the host, the meeting is not opened until the host joins. This feature will prevent participants from starting a meeting without the host. It will also prevent fraudulent users from using a passcode, even if the participant passcode has been compromised. 
  • Meeting Report: A meeting summary email is sent after every meeting. This email to the account owner will allow the client to see the details of the meeting, in addition to alerting them if their passcode was used without their knowledge. Correct customer email addresses are critical to ensure delivery to the correct account owner.
