ZOOM SAFER WHEN WORKING FROM HOME



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.
