Webex Space Management handles retention and management needs for Webex Spaces and Direct Room.

The Webex APIs provide your applications with direct access to the Cisco Webex Platform, giving you the ability to: Create a Webex space and invite people; Search for people in your company; Post messages in a Webex space; Get Webex space history or be notified in real-time when new messages are posted by others; Execute a command on a Webex. All of your work takes place within spaces in the Cisco Webex teams app. Inside a space, you can send messages, make calls, have video meetings, share files, and whiteboard. You can choose from three types of spaces: people, spaces, and team spaces, depending on why you need to chat. Webex keeps your information safe with a broad and holistic approach to security in the cloud. End-to-end encryption means your messages, files and whiteboard drawings are fully encrypted, all the way from your device to your recipients' devices. Control what’s shared and keep teamwork private by locking spaces so only moderators can add others.

Background

Data Retention Policies

Compliance and internal regulations often require data retention policies. Those usually indicate that after a certain amount of days, data needs to be fully erased. Policies like GDPR require data retention policies.

Webex Spaces

A common example is companies that need to erase employee or customer data on request or automatically. Also financial firms are usually required to do the same.

Data retention minimizes the risk of a breach or compliance events as less data is exposed in the cloud

Space Management

Webex Teams deployments tenants can sometimes become very large in the number of users and spaces. Company management and compliance teams need visibility of all the Spaces created which is not possible out of the box.

Until this date, there hasn’t been a way of providing clear and complete insights of the number of Spaces, their members, their last activity and whether they contain external members.

Spaces

Other information such as the users, group membership, and external users is critical to handle both compliance and security risks.n

That information can be vital in order to preserve order and prevent security breaches by allowing external users into the incorrect Spaces
