Fellow InfraGard Louisiana Members,

Cybersecurity (ESF- 17) Important Notification

Zoom Logo

As individuals continue the transition to online Zoom meetings, the State’s ESF-17 Team strongly recommends everyone inform the individuals that could schedule Zoom meetings to take following steps to ensure your Zoom meetings are properly secured:

  • Require passwords for all Zoom meetings
  • Never post Zoom links over public platforms \ social media
  • Set screen sharing to “Host Only
  • Update Zoom all applications
    • (iOS/MacOS/Windows 10)
  • Use the “Waiting Room” for Zoom meetings open to public participation
    • A virtual staging area that stops your guests from joining until you’re ready for them.
    • Meeting hosts can customize Waiting Room settings for additional control and personalization.

If you become victim of a teleconference hijacking or “Zoombombing” please report the event to the State’s Cyber Crimes Unit (CCU) @ Louisiana State Police Fusion Center:  1-800-434-8007 (or by email  LaFusion.Center@la.gov) as soon as possible.
