ICN was founded on connecting classrooms across Iowa using video conferencing. As we move toward the June 30th end-of-life date of our Video service, many of our State government and education customers have moved to Zoom as a means for conducting virtual meetings and classes.
Zoom has been in the news quite a bit for potential security flaws with their desktop app, as well as “Zoom-Bombing” where uninvited and unintended guests show up to meetings and cause disruption.
Here are three ways to help mitigate the risks of utilizing Zoom, or any online video solution.

- Discourage users from screenshotting meetings and giving away Meeting ID’s, usernames, etc.
- Make sure the latest version is being utilized.

The risk posture is greatly increased when our resources and people are spread out.
