Healthcare applications
Healthcare professionals can use GoToMeeting’s patented web-based screen-sharing, video conferencing and audio conferencing technology which is designed to allow its users to instantly and securely meet online and share information from files, database applications or other corporate resources from any location connected to the internet. By using screen-sharing technology, security is strengthened because only the shared screen and mouse and keyboard commands are transmitted. GoToMeeting further protects data confidentiality through a combination of encryption, strong access control and other industry-standard protection methods.
Security and control
Account administrators can define which of its organizers can host GoToMeeting online meetings in accounts with multiple users. Organizers control online meeting attendance through the use of meeting ID codes, optional passwords and meeting locks. Only one person can present at a time, and the presenter (either the organizer or a person chosen by the organizer) maintains complete control of screen sharing, in addition to keyboard and mouse control. Thus, participants can only view information the presenter chooses and can only make changes when permitted by the presenter. In addition, organizers can dismiss attendees when necessary, and organizers and account administrators can terminate meetings in progress at any time.
Encryption
GoToMeeting uses robust encryption mechanisms and protocols designed to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity for data that is transmitted (i.e., in-transit) between the LogMeIn infrastructure and users and for cloud recordings, transcriptions, and meeting notes stored (i.e., at-rest) within LogMeIn systems on behalf of its users.
