Zoom reaches out to govt as MHA raises safety concerns about its platform

California-based collaboration services company Zoom has been in the news lately for security issues raised by several governments and enterprises over the past few weeks. However, having admitted it made some mistakes — as its user base increased massively during the lockdowns in different parts of the world — the company says India is a significant market and it is speaking to the Indian government to allay concerns over application security.

“We are in touch with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology and the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). We are in the process of communicating with them, in terms of sharing with them the actual facts about technology, security of our platform, and the privacy of our users using our platform.
