Zoom: Security - this is how secure the video platform is

The Zoom video platform is suitable for video conferences and virtual meetings. You can schedule or join them individually, and only various basic requirements should be created. For example, an Internet-enabled end device equipped with a microphone and webcam is required.

So Zoom is about security and data protection

Zoom proves itself especially in the home office as well as in home learning. Since sensitive topics and data can also be present there, security and data protection are a big issue. However, not only the content, but also the users should be comprehensively protected. The most important basics for this are anchored in the law and should be applied.

• Even for meetings within a company or between several groups, it is important to take a closer look at the terms and conditions in advance.
• Before and during a meeting, certain security settings can also be made that restrict access and participation.
• Your data is encrypted, there are clouds as well as various storage methods.
• Access to a meeting is only possible with the help of a password.
• It is particularly safe to join the meeting in the web browser.
• In addition, look for security certifications that are recognized in Europe and especially in Germany.
• Es gibt mehrere Authentifizierungsstufen, um noch mehr Sicherheit zu gewährleisten.
• Überprüfen Sie vorab, inwieweit die DSGVO bei Zoom greift und ob Sie für Ihre Zwecke ausreichend ist.
