Zoom Tips

   

We have received numerous questions from clients regarding the Zoom vulnerabilities in the news this past few days. For your own virtual safety, please review the following and let us know if we can help.

  1. Zoom responded quickly and mitigated all of the known issues with an impressive one-day turnaround. They also announced new security initiatives worth noting. For more details, refer to:

  2. Prevent "Zoom Bombing" by requiring passwords for meetings (checkbox in Zoom admin)
  3. Zoom encrypts video, audio, and text chat content between participants. For more details, refer to:

  4. There isn't currently a "better" or "more secure" solution. Microsoft Teams may be a suitable alternative for some organizations.
