SINGAPORE/NEW YORK: Standard Chartered Plc is the first major global bank to tell employees not to use Zoom Video Communications Inc during the coronavirus pandemic due to cybersecurity concerns, according to a memo.

The message, sent by Chief Executive Officer Bill Winters to managers last week, also warned against using Alphabet Inc's Google Hangouts platform for virtual gatherings.
