Zoom has acquired Keybase, a secure messaging and file-sharing service.

"There are end-to-end encrypted communications platforms. There are communications platforms with easily deployable security. There are enterprise-scale communications platforms. We believe that no current platform offers all of these. This is what Zoom plans to build, giving our users security, ease of use, and scale, all at once," said Eric S. Yuan, CEO of Zoom.

"The first step is getting the right team together. Keybase brings deep encryption and security expertise to Zoom, and we're thrilled to welcome Max and his team. Bringing on a cohesive group of security engineers like this significantly advances our 90-day plan to enhance our security efforts."

As members of Zoom's security engineering function, the Keybase team will provide important contributions to Zoom's 90-day plan to proactively identify, address, and enhance the security and privacy capabilities of its platform.

Leaders from Zoom and Keybase will work together to determine the future of the Keybase product.
