Tandberg Compliance Appliance Underscores Growing Security Compliance Reliance

Compliance requirements drive security spending and decisions, according to 60% of participants in Nemertes' security research. Privacy requirements - such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) - are the most onerous to comply with. Protection of personal information is essential, regardless of media type: email, file transfer, IM, voice and video.

The new Compliance Appliance from Tandberg (OSL: TAA) is an example of a compliance solution for video calls; recording, tagging and storing in a tamper resistant manner. Compliance officers may review suspect calls for potential violations.

Impacts:

Enterprise: Evaluate the compliance risks of video conferencing; limits on functionality may be needed. Consult your compliance officer.

Vendors: Tandberg's video compliance focus differentiates it from Polycom (NASDAQ:PLCM) and Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO), though both companies offer video recording solutions.

Investors: Related solutions such as those from privately held ClearSight Networks, Solera Networks and even TiVo (NASDAQ:TIVO) could ride Tandberg's wake.
