Managing secure cloud communications

Best practices

Security is part us, and part you. That’s why we’ve developed best practices for securing your Twilio-powered application.

API security features
We highly recommend that you use HTTP Authentication in conjunction with encryption. This way, you can protect communications between your application and Twilio. As an added measure, we suggest adding a validation step to make sure requests are indeed coming from Twilio and not a malicious third party.

Fighting fraud
We’ve built, and continue to improve, our internal systems to detect fraudulent traffic on your account. We ask that you implement best practices to prevent hackers from compromising your app. Some of these steps are to lock down your account and some are dependent on the mode of communication you’re using.

Enterprise Edition security features
We suggest enabling Enterprise Editions for added security on your Twilio account. The plan includes capabilities such as Audit Events for change control, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and Single Sign-On (SSO) for access management.
