Video conferencing company Zoom has been responsive to concerns over its software, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said in a memo recently distributed to top government cybersecurity officials and seen by Reuters.
The memo - drafted by DHS's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, which screens software used by government bodies - sounded a positive note about the teleworking solution, which has been beset by security worries since the coronavirus outbreak drew in a flood of new stay-at-home users.DHS and FedRAMP said Zoom Video Communication Inc.
"I see it as a pragmatic memo," said Payton, who is chief executive of cybersecurity firm Fortalice Solutions. She said the General Services Administration, which helps run FedRAMP,"had to say something" given the mounting disquiet over Zoom's issues.AdvertisementThat is in part because the company's new popularity as a main way to connect to colleagues, classes, friends and family while stuck at home has meant newfound scrutiny.
