Image SecurityMagazineDuring the past eighteen months, a consortium of six data protection and privacy authorities reviewed the security and privacy practices of the major video teleconferencing (VTC) platforms — Cisco, Google, Microsoft and Zoom.

The consortium included cybersecurity representatives from across the globe:

  • Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (Australia)
  • Office of the Privacy Commissioner (Canada)
  • Gibraltar Regulatory Authority (Gibraltar)
  • Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (Hong Kong)
  • Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (Switzerland)
  • Information Commissioner’s Office (United Kingdom)
