I think it doesn't always have to scale. Zoom is a huge player right now and in great usage across all industries, countries and users.

That's a great point. The 80-20 rule likely applies here. Of all instances of beaconing events, the bulk of those events originate from a small number of popular apps.

Really?!? If it wasn't for this post I wouldn't even know that they exist.

  What industry do you work in and what country are you in right now?
  - pjmlp 7y ago
    Fortune 500 consulting, European Union market. Webex, Teams, Slack are the only ones that matter.

      "Webex, Teams" Yeah some companies are behind the curve (not blaming you). Zoom is getting very popular

        From security perspective, Companies do not like the fact that Zoom was developed in China and the vast majority of its R&D is still in China. China has different rules on security than many other countries. Particularly surrounding intellectual property. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1585521/000119312519083351/d642624ds1.htm https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1585521/000119312519... "Top of page 21- In addition, we have a high concentration of research and development personnel in China, which could expose us to market scrutiny regarding the integrity of our solution or data security features. Any security compromise in our industry, whether actual or perceived, could harm our reputation, erode confidence in the effectiveness of our security measures, negatively affect our ability to attract new customers and hosts, cause existing customers to elect not to renew their subscriptions or subject us to third-party lawsuits, regulatory fines or other action or liability, which could harm our business."

      I'd guess you work mainly with slower players (the mention of webex surely suggests so). Zoom as been very much on the rise for a year or so, and is riding the coronavirus WFH wave very well. IME quality is better than competitors, but boy do they use dark patterns. Finding the link to the web version in the meeting page becomes harder every day.

  In that case, I should probably tell you that it’s a good idea to wash your hands. Check any news outlet to know why, and you’re likely to also read about zoom in some article.
