Zoom officially rolls out Zoom 5.0 to users

Zoom, on Wednesday, officially rolled out the updated version of its video-conferencing tool Zoom 5.0 making it generally available. The new version includes multiple security enhancements as part of Zoom’s 90-day plan.

The company has been working on improving the security of its software after drawing flak for multiple privacy and security issues.

The details of the update’s new feature were shared last week in XEO Eric Yuan’s weekly webinar.

More security

Zoom 5.0 includes support for AES 256-bit GCM encryption, which provides added protection for meeting data and greater resistance to tampering, the company said.
