Privacy concerns related to sharing data with Facebook drove a sea of users away from WhatsApp and toward other chat platforms, including Telegram, which hit 500 million active new users this month.

However, that begs the question: Is Telegram secure?

Thankfully, from features like encrypted cloud storage to self-destructing messages that sound like something out of a spy movie, the answer is mostly yes.

Here's some more information about what those measures mean, how they make Telegram secure, and where it falls short compared to a few of its most prominent competitors.

Unlike its competitor Signal, Telegram doesn't by default apply end-to-end encryption to messages, which prevents any message intercepted by a third party from being interpretable.

However, you can opt to have end-to-end encryption by using Telegram's "secret chat" option.

Despite the fact that end-to-end encryption isn't standard, Telegram says its two-chat system is the most secure solution for their widely-used app. It toggles between Cloud and Secret chats to protect all kinds of users, relying on a standard encrypted cloud storage system based on server-client encryption called MTProto encryption.

The cloud storage system does have its setbacks. All of your content on the app is stored in the cloud, making it accessible across devices, but also lessening your control over the information being shared. This potentially poses a security risk.

In addition to the end-to-end encryption, secret chats also leave no trace on Telegram servers, don't allow forwarding, and can be sent as self-destructing messages.

Secret chats are also separate from the Telegram cloud, and instead can only be accessed via the device of origin. They are encrypted by another layer of security, found in client-client encryption.

Although end-to-end encryption is an option, it's been a criticism of Telegram that that type of encryption isn't the default setting as it is for Signal, for instance.

Telegram's secret chat option can also only be held between two people, meaning there's a lack of end-to-end encryption for group chats.

And unlike Signal, Telegram doesn't comprehensively encrypt metadata. Telegram collects your IP address, which Signal does not, and can link your phone number, contact list, and user ID back to you.

This backfired in 2016 when the user information of 15 million Iranians was exposed by an Iranian group of hackers called Rocket Kitten. It was not confirmed whether the security breach was the work of Iranian government officials, but many of the targets were identified as political activists.

Additionally, a deepfake bot scandal took place on Telegram in 2020, where users on Telegram channels exchanged nudes powered by the DeepNude software meaning fake nudes of women were computer generated from images taken off social media and were used for trading purposes.

Sensity, a security company that uses AI software to detect deepfakes, uncovered more than 100,000 images on the app and found that around 70% of users were located in or around Russia.

Similar to WhatsApp and Signal, it is suggested that you turn on two-step verification for the app to prevent account hijacks, which are made possible by hackers gaining access to your SMS code.

You can also change your privacy settings in the app so that only your contacts have access to your phone number and profile information, instead of the "everybody" setting.

One thing security advocates applaud about Telegram is that anyone with enough expertise can look under the hood at Telegram's source code, protocol, and API although the complete picture is proprietary and not fully open source.

Telegram also supports verifiable builds, meaning experts can check for themselves that the Telegram code published on GitHub is identical to the code powering the apps you download from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

Telegram has said that anyone with a verifiable claim that they can decipher Telegram messages can win $300,000 in its Cracking Contest.

Smaller bounties are offered as well if a tip results in a change in code or configuration.

Tape is far from being yesterdays storage technology says Rich Gadomski. As well as a continued role in IT resiliency and business continuity it has an emerging role in protection against ransomware and in managing the needs of the digital enterprise.

The year 2020 will certainly be remembered for the COVID-19 pandemic, the defining global health crisis of our time. The economic uncertainty caused by the pandemic has touched everyone and the long-term impact remains unclear. What is clear as we move towards the post COVID-19 digital economy will be the need for cost containment under increasing IT infrastructure and storage budget constraints. There will be a renewed focus on cost-effectively managing pre-COVID exponential data growth plus the influx of new data demand as organizations have shifted to all digital, remote and virtual work environments including government, education, entertainment, health care and nearly everything else. Cybercrime and ransomware attacks will continue to threaten the economic viability of organizations as well as individuals. The continued increasing demand for IT services will result in an explosion in energy use and carbon emissions raising concerns about how to keep the industrys environmental impact and its impact on climate change in check.

Security and cybercrime protection have gained serious attention in recent months. Ransomware attacks are on the rise and attacks become more targeted and damaging, your organization faces increased risk that can have your networks down for days or even weeks.

The tape air gap, inherent with tape technology, has ignited and renewed interest in cybercrime prevention. The tape air gap means that there is no electronic connection to the data stored on the removable tape cartridge therefore preventing a malware attack on stored data. HDD and SDD systems remaining online 7x24x365 are always vulnerable to a cybercrime attack. Cybercrime is expected to cost the world $6 trillion in 2021 with ransomware attacks occurring every 11 seconds. Air gapping should be an integral part of any archive, backup, recovery, and security plan. In addition to cybercrime protection, tape provides a secure offline solution for backups. The best practice data protection scheme is often described as the 3-2-1 rule: at least 3 copies of the data, on at least 2 different media technologies (i.e.: one on HDD, one on tape), and at least 1 copy that is offline and offsite.

The continuing growth of digital data and the need to preserve more diverse data types are also changing the storage landscape. Data is now being generated faster than it can be analyzed, significantly extending data retention timeframes. The archival usage model of storing and protecting vast amounts of data for indefinite periods of time is quickly evolving. Fortunately, modern data tape continues to be fueled by significant technological and architectural developments and this trend shows no signs of letting up. Steady advances reinforce tapes ability to continue to deliver the lowest cost, highest capacity, fastest data transfer rates, and most reliable digital storage medium available. With reliability levels three orders of magnitude better than the best HDDs, tape is the most cost-effective, most energy efficient long-term storage solution available.

Tapes cost per terabyte and TCO advantage compared with other storage mediums makes it the most cost-effective technology for data protection and long-term data retention. Easy to use and publicly available TCO calculators are available from Fujifilm and the LTO consortium. These tools allow users to define input assumptions to help assess the TCO of automated tape systems compared to HDDs and cloud storage.

Data centers / centres and information technology contribute nearly 2 percent to global carbon emissions and currently consumes over 2 percent of the worlds electricity and is expected to soar up to 8 percent by 2030 as concerns about the availability of sufficient power supplies grow. Hyperscale data centers are directly confronting this challenge as the insatiable growth of servers and disk farms are devouring budgets, overcrowding data centers, and creating enormous energy and carbon footprint problems. Shifting less active and archival data from disk to tape and virtualizing servers are the two most significant ways of reducing data center energy consumption. Tape cartridges spend most of their life in a library slot or on a shelf and dont consume energy unless mounted in a tape drive, making tape the ideal archival storage choice. Building another data center is extremely expensive mandating that energy consumption be efficiently managed accentuating the significant role tape is playing in data center economics. For large-scale data centers adding disk is tactical adding tape is strategic.

Todays data center storage technology hierarchy consists of three technologies - SSDs, HDDs and tape and the ideal storage implementation optimizes the strengths of each. However, the role tape serves in todays modern data centers is expanding fast and tape momentum will increase as data growth continues on an explosive trajectory across many new applications, workloads, and in most of the hyperscale data centers. With these advancements in place, modern tape technology delivers the most reliable, cyber-secure, energy efficient, and cost-effective data center storage solution available today. Roadmaps signal this trend of steady technological tape innovation to continue well into the future.

Even with a global pandemic in full swing and how it will play out remaining unclear, the digital data storage landscape continues to expand presenting a constant stream of new challenges and new threats. This is evident for the tape industry as the steady arrival of many rich technology improvements has set the stage for tape to remain the most effective storage solution for the enormous high capacity and data protection challenges that lie ahead.

The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored just how critical it is to be able to quickly analyze and interpret data and the invaluable role that artificial intelligence and machine learning play in savvy decision-making. In the quest for a vaccine, the whole world has witnessed a very practical (and life-saving) application of machine learning, which drives the required training and ongoing fine-tuning of models used by AI for inference in real-time.

Because better trained models result in faster and more accurate AI, it stands to reason that AIs biggest challenge is properly training its ML models.

Well-trained ML models must be fed a steady diet of big data so they can adapt and improve. As the training data sets grow, learning algorithms perform better and become more accurate. Simply put: the more data, the better the outcome. Obviously, huge amounts of data call for huge amounts of storage, but all storage solutions arent created equal in this context. As enterprises evaluate how they can best leverage their own AI/ML applications, its imperative that they dont overlook storage infrastructure in the process.

An organizations ability to successfully sift through and glean actionable insights from the massive, ever-growing data sets necessary for model training is dependent on having a storage architecture that can keep up with exceedingly demanding requirements across all stages of the data pipeline.

Heres why object storage is the most suitable and, quite frankly, the only adequate solution to help solve AI/MLs model-training challenge:

Enterprises seeking to realize the full value of their AI applications must understand the critical nature and potential challenge of properly training and fine-tuning their ML models. The smart ones will be just as conscientious about choosing the right storage infrastructure as they are about compute requirements. The wisest will come to the conclusion that object storage solutions provide the optimal foundation for ultimately extracting fast and accurate analytical insights, life-saving and otherwise.
