> digital security officer [...] Zoom webinar Yeah, there is definitely an incompetence problem here.

  Incompetent in Zoom, super competent in digital security. Lots of people are incompetent in things that aren’t important. Feynman famously said he was incompetent in administration [0] to stop people from assigning admin work. Competence isn’t a universal trait where people are perfect in everything or stupid in everything. I don’t get mad at a wizard because he’s incompetent at full plate. [0]

    No, the point was that anyone who remotely cares about security wouldn't touch Zoom with a 10m pole.

      I don’t think that’s true. It depends on what you’re using zoom for and how. Tons of security conscious people use zoom, and use it appropriately. I assume any firm big enough to have a digital safety officer is going to have some large user base needing and using zoom.

        > It depends on what you’re using zoom for and how. No, it really doesn't. Zoom has had so many incidents at this point where the client would compromise endpoint security that the only reasonable approach is to consider any computer that has ever had the client installed to be infected. Yes, there are precautions you can take to reduce the risk (burner VMs, and so on), but as a security professional you have a responsibility to lead by example. You yourself might be safe, but you're effectively telling everyone that Zoom is an acceptable platform to use, and that's just completely irresponsible.
