>> Nefsis Government Solutions
Secure Visual Communication Tools for Better Teamwork, Continuity, and
Response Times
The
information technology challenges faced by government agencies and
public service providers continues to grow: security, inter-connected
networks that evolved over time, and budget pressures, all amidst
increasing complexity and demand for services.
Nefsis has been helping all levels of government — military,
federal, state, city and county — for over a decade with secure,
easy to manage video conferencing and real-time communications solutions.
Some of our Nefsis video conferencing applications include:
- Secure, online team meetings
- C3 and civil defense media briefing centers
- Online training and after-action debriefing
- Recurring travel reduction & inter-office meetings
Nefsis video conferencing offers several unique advantages in
government applications: it lowers costs by using off-the-shelf HD
webcams and
video conferencing equipment; its cloud-based technology further
reduces costs through elimination of expensive infrastructure equipment
such as MCUs, desktop gateways, and collaboration servers, all of which
are built-in the Nefsis
multipoint video cloud; and the Nefsis cloud is scalable, meaning it
is easy to expand.
Another advantage is Nefsis
dynamic scalable video, automated bandwidth throttling, and
enterprise-grade connection technology. Unlike past generations of
video conferencing technology that required direct connections and
fixed bandwidth, Nefsis successfully operates over almost any
existing government network.
For
U.S. Federal agencies that require it, Nefsis also offers an on-premise
video conferencing
server and a FIPS 140-2 edition for additional encryption, routing,
and administrative controls. Please contact
us for additional information and GSA contract details.

How Nefsis Meets Those Requirements
Security
The Nefsis FIPS Edition ensures enhanced security measures. It supports FIPS
140-2 required security certificated, authentication, strong cipher, and end-to-end
encrypted TLS connections, allowing federal employees geographically separated connect
in video conferencing via private network or public route. This Nefsis edition, designed
specifically for government use, provides the ability for an organization to build a private
cloud. This high level of security utilizes specific, secure protocols, methods, and
configuration settings.
HD Quality
Government agencies are beginning to adopt VoIP and multipoint video conferencing services
requiring FIPS 140-2 compliant web. Unique to Nefsis, this is processed in high definition quality
on desktops and conference room screens. Nefsis was originally designed to handle HD content powered
by multi-core processors. This is how Nefsis effortlessly encodes and decodes multipoint HD video content.
Support for Desktops and Conference Rooms
Nefsis video conferencing software and online services are available from desktop to boardroom. Taking
advantage of extremely powerful video and multimedia processor extensions, Nefsis technology proves there
is no longer a need for hardware or “box†solutions. Nefsis FIPS effortlessly delivers HD video on any
up-to-date PC or conference room platform with compatibility of multi-microphone mixers, amps, and speakers.
Built-in Collaboration Tools
Along with secure desktop reach, Nefsis FIPS Edition provides the government with advanced collaboration
tools. Full application, document, PowerPoint, media files, and desktop sharing are available through the Nefsis
tool ribbon. Other features such as text chatting among conference participants and a comprehensive whiteboard
for collaboration and mark ups in real time are offered. These tools allow for the most efficient communication
and collaboration among employees.
Firewall and Proxy Traversal
Nefsis FIPS Edition uses standard pots 80 and 443 for web services and provides proxy and firewall traversal
in conformance with IT security policies. All connections are initiated by the conference users, going out of
their firewall. Nefsis does not attempt any inbound connections. Nefsis conferencing supports all leading standards
for proxy connections, ensuring the highest possible connection success rate for all users. In addition, it provides
detailed options for selecting algorithms and key lengths for signing and encryption for further protection.
Over Existing IT Infrastructure
The Nefsis FIPS Edition works over the organization’s existing IT infrastructure. The user is granted the option
to restrict conference documents and applications to the on-premise server. This feature maintains the highest level
of privacy and security for government agencies.
Administration Controls
Conference room control resides in the power of the administrator of the meeting. The administrator has system-wide
power over user-level feature and security controls. Custom company entry pages with logos and color schemes are also
available, along with standard usage reports.
Nefsis is Available via GSA Schedule Purchase
Nefsis FIPS Edition can be
procured through the Winvale Group’s GSA Schedule (GS-35F-0074S). This edition of Nefsis is designed for government
agencies requiring FIPS 140-2 compliant web, VoIP, and multipoint video conferencing services.
