Last year, Zoom acquired Keybase for the purpose of implementing end-to-end encryption. The need for this arose after Zoom faced a significant amount of negative reviews due to a low level of security. This acquisition marked Zoom's first purchase since its founding in 2012, with the deal's official value undisclosed. Keybase gained serious attention in 2015 when it attracted investments of $10.8 million.
