During the past few days, we have implemented several safeguards to help combat the security incident affecting our Internet connection. While this is still an active incident, we believe the issue is contained as network activity has returned to normal. We are discussing additional measures with our outside security services provider that we can implement to decrease the likelihood of this reoccurring.
We appreciate your patience and understanding over the past week and look forward to your continued cooperation with us to keep our information secure.

Over the past several days, WCM has been dealing with an ongoing security incident affecting our Internet connection. We immediately activated our incident response teams to contain the issue, and our core systems continue to function. The issue is still ongoing. Therefore, systems which are sensitive to Internet connectivity such as email, Virtual Private Network (VPN), the Weill Business Gateway (WBG), and the Weill Research Gateway (WRG), will still experience intermittent slowness and interruptions as we attempt to recover normal services.

Can I use a third-party AI plugin in my Zoom account?
No, third-party plugins have not been reviewed to ensure they meet security standards to protect data shared in Zoom. If you have a specific use case and would like to speak with ITS, please contact our Service Desk.
Does Zoom store any data to transcribe meetings?
Zoom holds data for 30 days in case of support needs. The company does not use any customer audio, video, chat, screen sharing, attachments, or other communications-like customer content (such as poll results, whiteboard, and reactions) to train Zoom’s or its third-party artificial intelligence models.
