Zoom announced on Wednesday that it has appointed Jason Lee as its chief information security officer.
Lee, who will take on the role of Zoom's CISO on June 29, has 20 years of experience in information security and operating mission-critical services.
"Zoom is on an incredible journey of growth and I am thrilled to bring my experience of running world-class security organizations to the company. Ensuring that customers trust our products is of the utmost importance and I look forward to working with the team to continue instilling security into the DNA of Zoom," Lee said.
Lee's appointment as the CISO of Zoom is part of the video conferencing company's 90-day plan to improve security and privacy, which came under scrutiny after its popularity soared as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
Zoom previously created a CISO Council, which includes CISOs from major companies such as HSBC, Ellie Mae, and NTT Data.
