Ring makes stronger encryption the standard for cloud recordings

Ring is making encryption a default, not a footnote. The company introduced a new encryption standard and set it as the standard for cloud features, with end-to-end encryption still available for those who opt in. That's a practical step toward protecting user data without forcing a choice. It's the kind of quiet progress that matters, especially when AI agents are already mishandling sensitive images.
