Video service Zoom taking security seriously: US government memo


DHS and FedRAMP said Zoom Video Communication Inc was responding to the criticisms and understood how serious they were — a contrast with the formal advice against using the product issued on March 7 by Taiwan's Cabinet. — Reuters

WASHINGTON: Video conferencing company Zoom has been responsive to concerns over its software, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a memo recently distributed to top government cybersecurity officials and seen by Reuters.

The memo — drafted by DHS's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, which screens software used by government bodies — sounded a positive note about the teleworking solution, which has been beset by security worries since the coronavirus outbreak drew in a flood of new stay-at-home users.
