Washington [United States], May 8 ( ANI ): Twitter is reportedly testing a new feature on its Android app that makes messaging secure with
end-to-end encryption.

Along with
end-to-end encryption, contact centers need to keep network security up-to-date to address growing concerns regarding the network's ability to support the large number of connected devices (IoT) that exist in our healthcare industry today.
