Security News > 2020 > April > Zoom 5.0: How to better secure meetings with the latest features
With the new 5.0 version of Zoom, the app has added features to help you protect your virtual meetings from Zoombombing and other unwanted intrusion.
As described in a blog post published last week, Zoom 5.0 brings with it 256-bit encryption to better secure meeting data, meeting passwords that are turned on by default, passwords required to access recorded meetings stored in the cloud, and other security features.
