Zoom Security Measures and Levels of Protection

What Are the Best Security Practices for Protecting Your Zoom Data?

1. Sound Notifications - Enable sound notifications to alert when attendees join meetings
2. Waiting Rooms - Configure approval settings for attendees; Use whitelisted domains to bypass waiting rooms and allow direct meeting access
3. Screen Sharing - Limit screen sharing to specific applications vs. entire desktops to prevent accidental data disclosures
4. Meeting Room Settings - Don't allow attendees to join a meeting before the host; Disable file transfers between attendees to prevent spreading malicious content
5. User Access - Require users to register with their e-mail, name, security questions, and meeting password
6. Chat and Voice Settings - Disable meeting chats to prevent users from saving private conversations; Mute/unmute all participants with the click of a button
7. Meeting IDs - For public meetings, use randomly generated meeting IDs to ensure only invited attendees can join

What Are the Top Security Recommendations for Registered Zoom Hosts?

• Utilize Strong Passwords
• Password length of 10-12 characters & special symbols
• Require new users to change password upon first sign-in
• Utilize enhanced weak password detection
• Prevent users from reusing passwords
• No consecutive characters (ex. 1234)
• Set passwords to automatically expire

   

Virtual Background

• Account owners and admins can enable and disable virtual backgrounds in the Zoom web portal for all users on their account

Encryption and Updates

• Zoom provides end-to-end encryption, which can be configured at the account, group, and user levels

• To ensure encryption, update your Zoom Desktop Client or utilize the Zoom Web Client
