Created advisory to
quickly resolve zoom security issues
Zoom promised to resolve
privacy and security issues within 90 days. The company, which followed the
pledge, took another step and established a security advisory board.
Members of Zoom’s security advisory board include Alex Stamos, Facebook’s security chief from 2015 to 2018. Stamos, an independant expert who will assist Zoom in conducting a comprehensive security assessment, used the following statements in his Medium blog: “there are some things that need to be done in the main security of the application, in the design of encryption and in infrastructure security. I can't wait to work with Zoom’s team on these projects.”
The steps Zoom takes to improve security don't stop there. The company is posting a new update for all of its applications, removing the ID number of the conversation from the title bar. This avoids the risk of infiltrating this number along with screenshots and the possibility of intruders getting into the conversation.
In addition, conversation managers will now have an icon in front of them to ensure they have quick access to all security controls. This allows users to freely activate the waiting room of the conversation and identify intruders without being involved in the conversation. In fact, it's worth reminding you that Zoom has recently opened the waiting room by default. Waiting in the waiting room is unable to join the call without manager approval.

While zoom works quickly to close its security and privacy
gaps, what it does seems wasn't enough to address concerns. Google
finally joined organizations that prohibit their staff from using Zoom. A
statement sent to Google employees said Zoom did not meet the company's
security standards.
