The Zoom he said today updating the app to version 5.0, only that version isn't out yet. The upcoming app update will bring the security fixes promised by the company.
The new version will be released next week and among the biggest changes it WILL bring are the support for stronger encryption, h activation passwords by default and a new hub for easy access to important security settings.
With version 5.0, Zoom will use encryption template AES 256-bit GCM. Αυτό θα ασφαλίσει κάπως καλύτερα τα δεδομένα σας, αν και δεν είναι ακόμα η end-to-end κρυπτογράφηση που ισχυριζόταν η εταιρεία ότι διέθετε. Οι χρήστες των επιχειρήσεων θα μπορούν να ελέγχουν από ποιες περιοχές του κέντρου δεδομένων της Zoom, πραγματοποιούνται οι βιντεοκλήσεις τους, αφού ορισμένοι ειδικοί εξέφρασαν τις ανησυχίες τους για ότι συνδεόταν μέσω κέντρου δεδομένων της Chinas.
In order to minimize the chance of zoom bombing, meetings will now need by default, passwords for most users (in Basic, single-license Pro and K-12 packages)
Cloud recordings will also require default passwords, and from account settings you can determine the complexity of the password required by a company. Zoom also enables default waiting rooms for these clients by adding an additional verification step before allowing someone to join a meeting.
Finally, the update has a security icon in the menu bar. Clicking on it will give you access to all the security features of the Zoom app in one place, not in the meeting menus.
Today's announcement arrives three weeks later that the company announced a 90-day plan to address and correct major security issues. But in essence, this is another announcement that promises something, and keeps a waiting audience warm.
