Cybersecurity

As people utilize web conferencing solutions like Zoom, malicious individuals have found ways to disrupt your conversations. Enter “Zoom Bombing.” People scour Zoom and the Internet for Zoom Meeting IDs in order to enter your session unnoticed and, if controls are not in place, post inappropriate comments in the chat room, sign on with lewd profile pictures, or worse, share their screen during your meeting to launch inappropriate videos to disrupt your meeting and offend you and your participants.

IT has developed a website with tips on how to minimize the impact these exploits can have on your Zoom environment.
