A company wants a board meeting by video conference where directors in Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata can be seen and heard, and the secretary needs proof of who attended. Which limitation of video conferencing is most relevant to the security of such a meeting?

The most relevant limitation is that unauthorised persons may join if access links or passwords are not controlled. For a confidential board meeting, this risks leaking sensitive information, so organisers use passwords, waiting rooms and participant verification and keep attendance records.

  2. BThe meeting cannot have more than one speaker
  3. CDocuments can never be shared
  4. DParticipants cannot hear each other

Explanation

Confidentiality risk arises when meeting links or passwords are shared loosely, letting outsiders enter. Controlled access, waiting rooms and attendance logs reduce this. The other options misstate what video conferencing can do.
