Recommendation

More than 200 million people suddenly find themselves using Zoom’s videoconferencing software. Many enjoy how simple and convenient it makes connecting with co-workers, friends and family. But before adopting Zoom for your work-from-home and casual communication needs, make sure you understand the trade-offs between ease-of-use and protecting your privacy and security. Writing for The New York Times, Brian X. Chen lays out the concerns about Zoom and provides specific suggestions on how to reduce your risk.

Take-Aways

  • Don’t let any technology’s ease of use and free access entice you into trading privacy and security for convenience.
  • Zoom’s privacy policy is less robust than it should be.
  • Zoom’s software has greater-than-average access to users’ operating systems, which makes it less secure.
