Re: Zoom Communication

["Menne, Michael S" <michael.menne () MNSU EDU>]

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.

Subject: [SECURITY] Zoom Communication

Hi Everyone,

I have a question for those institutions who are utilizing Zoom.  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?

Thanks,
