I have been watching the media coverage around Zoom pretty carefully. Any time a company goes from 10M calls to 200M calls overnight is bound to have some heightened scrutiny placed on them. I’ve been watching their response more than the individual issues. So far, their response has been very promising. They haven’t hidden behind any of the issues or tried to redirect blame on anything. They’ve taken each one in turn and directly addressed them. I attribute most of the issues to being a fairly young company with massive overnight growth that probably had some legacy code still in place. We did publish a statement about protecting Zoom meetings, but haven’t been addressing the individual issues one by one. https://mankato.mnsu.edu/it-solutions/help-support/explore-support-articles/protect-your-zoom-meeting/ Michael Menne, CISSP Chief Information Security Officer IT Solutions Information Security Minnesota State University, Mankato Phone: (507) 389-5705 www.mnsu.edu/its/security<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mnsu.edu%2Fits%2Fsecurity&data=02%7C01%7Cmichael.menne%40mnsu.edu%7C00f2f1afdcf544ac511508d758826763%7C5011c7c60ab446ab9ef4fae74a921a7f%7C0%7C0%7C637075189428878307&sdata=%2FUAwDG0vB%2BVztf92DOtb6gMc78WzZhdfsjAyBSKlbHU%3D&reserved=0> minnstate.zoom.us/j/5073895705<https://minnstate.zoom.us/j/8364614046> [signature_2008603909] Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

How are you handling security and privacy concerns brought by users in light of all the press? I’m interested in how you are handling things overall and specifically if you have sent out any communications to reassure users? If you have sent a communication, would you be willing to share it?
