In a move in line with the sudden recovery that hit it after
the outbreak of the Corona virus, Zoom video communications
decided to purchase security company “K-Biz” in an attempt to
enhance security, in video meetings on the Zoom application.
The terms of the agreement were not announced. But Zoom
is working to improve the security factor in video meetings,
after finding gaps in privacy and security, with Zoom
increasing in popularity during the Corona pandemic.
KeyBiz was Zoom’s first acquisition. The company will help
Zoom to implement “full encryption”, a type of security
standard that does not even allow Zoom to access the contents
of the encrypted data.
Zoom announced that it would release the coding design details
on May 22.
Zoom currently has 300 million users, and application fortunes
have revived after millions of employees around the world find
themselves suddenly required to work from home.
But the company, headquartered in San Jose, California,
is striving to close security holes after people hacked into others’
videos in a practice called “Zoom Booming”.
