7 Steps To Secure Video Conferences

Video conferencing tools like Zoom, WebEx, Microsoft Teams and Hangouts can make communication easy and simple. Secure virtual workplaces are the future of work and banks will have to evaluate the same in future.

Zoom has become the most popular download in covid times. The video conferencing app was helping hackers to leak the passwords and hijack the video sessions in between. This, if happens to banks and finance companies, can pose a significant and higher risk as these institutions may lose valuable data and information.

If we see the last few bugs in Zoom, it was possible for the attacker to guess meeting ID and be a participant in the unprotected meetings.
