The pandemic, work-from-home version of that is a Video Conference War. Zoom has become so widely adopted that it has become a verb but Google has now banned its use on company computers, citing security concerns.  In this episode of the CYBER24 podcast, presented by VLCM, we take a look at the efforts by Zoom competitors to push back against the new big kid on the block. We also discuss warnings from the Department of Justice for those who are trying to hack into video conferencing platforms.    ## Panel: Dan Schuyler, VLCM Anthony Booyse, Sophos Paul Whittier, Sophos   ## References: [Google bans its employees from using Zoom over security concerns – The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/8/21213978/google-zoom-ban-security-risks-hangouts-meet) [Federal, state and local law enforcement warn against teleconferencing hacking – DOJ](https://www.justice.gov/usao-edmi/pr/federal-state-and-local-law-enforcement-warn-against-teleconferencing-hacking-during) [With remote work, these cyber threats are on the rise – Technical.ly](https://technical.ly/baltimore/2020/04/08/remote-work-cyber-threats-increased-cybersecurity-malvertising-maryland-swat-team/)   ![Episode 80: Google pushes back on Zoom](https://i1.wp.com/www.cyber24.us/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/videomeeting-scaled.jpg?resize=1080%2C675&ssl=1) Listen to the Podcast: [Play in new window](https://www.buzzsprout.com/697411/3316378-episode-80-google-pushes-back-on-zoom) Subscribe: [Apple Podcasts](https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/cyber24/id1291806314?mt=2&ls=1#episodeGuid=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cyber24.us%2F%3Fp%3D648) | [Android](https://subscribeonandroid.com/www.cyber24.us/feed/podcast/) | [Google Podcasts](https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY3liZXIyNC51cy9mZWVkL3BvZGNhc3Qv) | [Stitcher](https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/marty-carpenter/cyber24?refid=stpr) | [TuneIn](https://tunein.com/radio/Cyber24-p1041151/) | [RSS](https://www.cyber24.us/feed/podcast/)     **Copyright VLCM   |  All Rights Reserved  |  [Privacy](https://www.vlcm.com/privacy)** - [![facebook icon](https://blog.vlcm.com/hs-fs/hubfs/i-img/social-fa.png?t=1444107731905&width=22&name=social-fa.png "facebook icon")](https://www.facebook.com/VLCMtech/)[![linkedin icon](https://blog.vlcm.com/hs-fs/hubfs/i-img/social-in.png?t=1444107731905&width=22&name=social-in.png "linkedin icon") ](https://www.linkedin.com/company/valcom-vlcm-) [![instagram icon](https://blog.vlcm.com/hs-fs/hubfs/i-img/social-phot.png?t=1444107731905&width=22&name=social-phot.png "instagram icon") ](https://www.instagram.com/vlcmtech/) [![twitter icon](https://blog.vlcm.com/hs-fs/hubfs/i-img/social-twi.png?t=1444107731905&width=22&name=social-twi.png "twitter icon") ](https://twitter.com/vlcmtech)[![shopping cart icon](https://blog.vlcm.com/hs-fs/hubfs/cart.png?width=24&name=cart.png "shopping cart icon") ](https://usm.channelonline.com/valcomslc/storesite/Login/?destination=/valcomslc/storesite/Search/Category/index.co) ![](https://px.ads.linkedin.com/collect/?pid=494756&fmt=gif)
