Due
to the scale of the pandemic ever more businesses and governments institutions
are enforcing ‘work from home’ policies in order to keep their employees safe
and healthy, and to keep the business going – Social interactions today come
down to video calls, social media posts, communicating via instant messaging
platforms and for very many of us we make use of Zoom.
In
this context, a cyberattack that deprives organisations and families of access
to the internet, their devices or data could be devastating – Zoom has
had a bunch of security scares recently, as huge numbers of new users flock to
it, and as cybercriminals try to take advantage of that. Fortunately, a lot of
the problems and risks people are having can be reduced enormously just by
getting the basics right.
So
here are “things to get right first” – they shouldn’t take you long, and they
are easy to do to keep your Zoom safer.
1.
Pick the right password.
When
setting up Zoom Account its highly recommended to make use of good and strong
password – Do not share it, change it as often as you can, make sure you do not
reuse the password.
