Zoom - Email from Homeland Security

Issue/Question

• I received an email from the Department of Homeland Security saying not to use Zoom. Does this apply at OSU?

Environment

• Oregon State University
• Zoom

Cause/Explanation

Due to various security concerns, the Department of Homeland Security sent email in April 2020 telling federal agencies not to use Zoom.

This guidance does not apply to OSU. OSU and Zoom have taken steps to make use of Zoom more secure. Please see below for resources.

Resolution

• Zoom Security at Oregon State University
• Zoom security statement for OSU Extension Service
