Secure Zoom browsing

Secure Zoom browsing means reducing risk from meeting links, chat-shared URLs, and file transfers that send users into browser flows attackers love.

Quick answer

Legba can isolate browser sessions while your team uses Zoom.

These tools are full of shared links and external content. Isolation helps reduce exposure when users open unfamiliar destinations and downloads that start from Zoom.

This page does not imply an official integration with Zoom—it’s a guide to securing browser workflows around the app.

When you need this

Your team uses Zoom in a browser every day.
You want to reduce phishing, malicious downloads, and session theft without slowing users down.
You need role-based policies for employees, admins, and contractors.

Common browser risks

Phishing via fake “meeting recording” or “missed message” links that lead to credential harvesters.
Malicious links shared in meeting chat that redirect to scam pages or drive-by downloads.
Impersonation of internal users or vendors to request urgent actions during meetings.
Token theft and session hijacking when users authenticate then browse risky destinations in the same profile.
Downloading shared files without scanning, especially from external participants.

Typical sensitive data in Zoom

Meeting links and metadata (times, participants).
Chat messages and shared links.
Recordings and transcripts (potentially sensitive).
Files shared during meetings.
Account and admin settings for conferencing policies.
Support tickets and incident details discussed live.

Recommended policies by role

Executives

Treat unexpected recording links as suspicious; open external links in isolation by default.
Avoid logging in via links received during meetings; use bookmarks for core apps.
Use stronger re-auth for high-impact actions prompted during meetings (payments, security changes).

IT Admins

Lock down meeting recording permissions and reduce external participant file sharing where possible.
Isolate unknown links opened from chat and meeting invites.
Restrict downloads from untrusted sources; require scanning and release workflows.

Security

Monitor for impersonation attempts and suspicious meeting-invite patterns.
Use isolation for investigating suspicious meeting links and landing pages.
Apply browser policies that reduce risky permissions (notifications, clipboard) on unknown sites.

FAQs

Is Zoom itself insecure?

The bigger risk is how attackers use collaboration tools to route users into browser flows: fake logins, malware downloads, and impersonation attempts.

What’s the most common Zoom-related lure?

Fake meeting recordings and “missed message” prompts that push users to sign-in pages.

How does isolation help meeting workflows?

It lets users open unknown links with less endpoint risk by running the web content in an isolated environment and streaming safe output.

Will isolation slow down meetings?

Zoom meetings aren’t typically impacted. Isolation mainly affects browsing to unknown destinations opened from links and chat.
