From relentless Zoom bombers<\/a> to $86 million dollar lawsuits<\/a>, the world has repeatedly been exposed to the implications of Zoom\u2019s security vulnerabilities and privacy issues<\/a>. Under the Cloud Act<\/a>, personal data handed over to Zoom Video Communications Inc. can be transferred to third parties or used for targeting and marketing purposes, and is often in the power of its meeting hosts.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog, we inform you about the Swedish government organization who advocates against the mainstream platform, Zoom, and why they\u2019re pushing for more open source solutions like Nextcloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

eSam Advises Against Zoom<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

eSam is a digitalization organization for the Swedish government that comprises of 34 central government organizations. Together, they identified and analyzed collaboration platforms based on open source and open standards. Based on their findings, they provided the government advice in their exclusive report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In eSam\u2019s most recent report, they advise against government\u2019s use of Zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conclusion is based off a comprehensive assessment<\/a> of Zoom which identified and examined key risks to the platform and service agreement. These include data that may be made available to US cloud service providers, aggregation risk, End-to-End encryption issues and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Government entities have far too much sensitive and confidential data to put their institution or its citizens at any form of risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swedish government recommends Nextcloud<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a previous report<\/a> from 2021, eSam recommends Nextcloud as a premier solution<\/a> for digital collaboration including file storage and kanban. eSam claims Nextcloud meets their requirements due to Nextcloud being an actively managed solution, providing a wide range of features and applications and its ability to be hosted on its own IT infrastructure and data centers. They were also intrigued by the option of a Swedish supplier implementing Nextcloud, as the organization advocates for public services to only use Swedish cloud services<\/a> to handle confidential information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNextcloud stands out as a customizable open-source solution.\u201d<\/p>eSam Report, November 2021<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can even have on-premises video conferencing and chat with Talk \u2013 Nextcloud\u2019s compliant, online meeting platform that beats Zoom out the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nextcloud Talk is the secure, open source alternative where you can host and participate in online meetings with your security in check. Unlike Zoom\u2019s extraordinary data leak history, Nextcloud Talk reduces risk of leakage due to all data being held safely on your own server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
