of its app after its meteoric rise to mainstream success came with its share of controversy.
Apple's FaceTime, just as an example, has end-to-end encryption — but each call can only hold 32 people at a time. A Zoom meeting, however, can hold up to 1,000 people in a single meeting, and up to 50,000 in a webinar. That's coupled with the fact that you don't need a Zoom account to join a Zoom call. Stamos said that this makes encryption a unique challenge for Zoom.
To that point, Stamos says that Zoom not only has to improve the security of its platform, but also has to make sure it does it in a way that doesn't confuse users or make the app harder to use. That's why Keybase and its user-friendly design team was so desirable.Even once the 90-day plan is in the rear-view mirror, Stamos said, Keybase gives Zoom a leg up with addressing future security problems.
Zoom is also expanding its trust and safety team to include engineers and product managers, the same way that consumer technology companies like Stamos' former employers at Facebook have done. It's also doubling down on initiatives like searching for stolen Zoom credentials on the dark web to inform users — again, something consumer tech companies do.
