## Security and Privacy

Zoho Assist provides you a web-based solution with an uncluttered user interface. Security is not a concern with the two-factor authentication, SSL certification, and compatibility with all major anti-virus software.

### Multi-factor Authentication

Protect your account with an extra layer of security with an additional verification process. We use time-based OTP as a secondary factor of authentication to protect your account from internet fraud.

### Monitor Your Organization With Action Log Viewer.

The Action Log Viewer helps you track the activities carried out in your organization for auditing and administrative purposes.&#x20;

### Firewall Friendly

You can establish remote connections in a flash. You don't have to worry about exceptions or ports in your proxy or firewall configuration compromising your internet security.

### Secure With SSL and 256-bit AES Encryption.

The exchange of data in Zoho Assist during a session takes place through industry-standard, SSL and 256-bit AES protocols. Your sessions are safe and secure from any intrusion or tampering with the shared data.

### Antivirus Compatible.
