Zero trust video communication

Extend your zero trust architecture to video. Pexip integrates with the identity providers and policy engines you already run to enforce the same controls on every meeting.

Applying zero trust to video collaboration

Traditional zero trust architectures focus on applications and data stores. Real-time video adds a dynamic layer, participants, devices, and shared content, that has to be governed with the same rigor.

 

Pexip treats every meeting as a controlled data environment, so your zero trust principles extend to live collaboration:

  • Continuous verification of every participant and session
  • Just-in-time, just-enough access to meeting features and content
  • Secure collaboration across internal and external participants
  • No static controls. Verified, policy-based admission replaces PINs and shared links

Zero trust architecture, extended to your meetings

Pexip's open architecture integrates with the identity, policy, and deployment systems you already run, so video meetings integrate your existing zero trust architecture.

Role and attribute-based access controls

Enforce RBAC and ABAC policies per participant through integration with your external policy engine. Access to meetings, breakout rooms, and content is granted dynamically — based on role, attributes, and context.

Microsegmentation of meeting data flows

Meeting traffic is isolated so a compromised user or device is prevented from moving laterally across other sessions or systems, containing threats and reducing lateral attack surface.

Identity-based authentication

Integrate with your identity provider to extend SSO, MFA, and federated authentication directly into the meeting environment — aligned with your zero trust framework.

Continuous verification and session policy

Policy is applied at admission and re-evaluated throughout the session, with full audit logging. Continuous verification also underpins defense against impersonated and deepfake participants, keeping access aligned with context rather than granted once at the door.

Built for the strictest zero trust mandates

Pexip helps you align with the regulated frameworks that government organizations are required to meet,  including NIST SP 800-207, the DoD Zero Trust Strategy, and NATO's ACP240, which name zero trust, data-centric security, and attribute-based access control as preferred models for coalition environments.

Frequently asked questions

What is zero trust video communication?

Zero trust video communication applies zero trust principles — never assume trust, verify every access request — to real-time video meetings. Every participant is authenticated, every session is governed by policy, and access is continuously verified rather than granted once at join. Pexip delivers this by extending your existing zero trust architecture to video, integrating with your identity providers and policy engines.

Does Pexip provide zero trust, or integrate with my existing architecture?

Pexip integrates with the zero trust architecture you already operate rather than replacing it. It connects to your identity providers (SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect) and external policy engines (PDP) to enforce your RBAC and ABAC policies on video meetings, so real-time collaboration is governed by the same controls as the rest of your environment.

Is Pexip aligned with NIST 800-207 and ACP240?

Yes. Pexip supports the identity, policy-enforcement, microsegmentation, and continuous-verification principles defined in NIST SP 800-207 and the DoD Zero Trust Strategy, and supports the attribute-based access control model in NATO's ACP240 — deployable in self-hosted and air-gapped environments for classified use.
