Virtru, the leader in data-centric security, and Pexip, a provider of secure, customizable video collaboration for defense and government organizations, have announced a joint solution that enforces continuous, attribute-based access control to scheduling and joining classified video meetings.
Virtru and Pexip have announced a joint solution enforcing attribute-based access control for classified video meetings.
The partnership connects Pexip Secure Meetings on the self-hosted Pexip Infinity platform with the Virtru Data Security Platform.
Virtru serves as the policy decision point, while Pexip acts as the policy enforcement point, requesting decisions and applying them in real time.
ABAC for scheduling shows only the classification, releasability and need-to-know options the organizer is entitled to, while validating each invitee's entitlements.
ABAC for joining requests a new policy decision when a participant joins, so status changes such as clearance suspensions or PERSEC holds affect access.
Virtru logs every scheduling authorization, invite validation, join decision, meeting attribute, evaluated entitlement and timestamp for audit evidence.
"A classified conversation is data, generated in real time, attended by people with different clearances, coalition affiliations, and need-to-know assignments that can shift hour to hour. In concept, this is no different than any other data object; it needs granular access controls evaluated continuously against users' entitlements," said Will Peppo, Senior Vice President of Business Development at Virtru. "Pexip is a great partner to bring that discipline to the meeting layer. The same attribute-based enforcement Virtru customers already trust for documents and messages, now applied where mission decisions actually happen."
"Defense and government organizations need to collaborate across agencies and coalitions while maintaining strict control over sensitive information," said Jordan Owens, CTO Americas at Pexip. "Pexip is built for these controlled environments, with a flexible platform that can integrate identity and access policies into the meeting experience. Together with Virtru, we are helping customers collaborate securely while retaining control over who can participate, at all times."
Traditional Video Teleconferencing Security leaves a critical gap between the moment a meeting invite is sent and the moment a meeting begins. Clearances expire, personnel rotate, and security holds are applied, yet calendar-based invite lists carry no mechanism to honor those changes before participants dial in. Virtru and Pexip together solve this problem by enforcing access policy at both scheduling and join time against real-time entitlements from the customer's authoritative identity provider.
The joint platform brings Zero Trust and ABAC to the meeting layer through a separation-of-duties architecture that keeps entitlement data outside the video platform itself:
ABAC for Scheduling Meetings: A Pexip-built Policy Enforcement Point queries the Virtru Data Security Platform when an organizer creates a meeting.
ABAC for Joining Meetings: The Pexip PEP requests a new policy decision from the Virtru Data Security Platform when a participant joins and enforces the result in real time.
One Policy, Enforced Everywhere: The Virtru Data Security Platform acts as the central policy decision point for both scheduling and joining meetings.
Decision-Level Audit Evidence: The Virtru Data Security Platform logs every user's scheduling authorization, invite validation, join decision, meeting attributes, evaluated entitlements and timestamps.
