In 2024, digital communication has evolved, but so have the threats that accompany it. Growing businesses, despite the advancements in technology, still face significant security challenges. Protecting sensitive information is paramount, as data breaches and cyberattacks continue to rise, threatening the integrity and trust companies have worked hard to build. Here are the top 5 security strategies that every business must implement to safeguard their digital communications:

We are excited that Termii has achieved a significant milestone: official regulatory VAS approval to terminate authentication, voice, and message campaign traffic in Ivory Coast and the United States. This approval represents an important step forward, enhancing our ability to provide reliable communication solutions that empower businesses and communities in these regions.

Are you aware that the amount of message parts you send determines the costs of your message to your contacts? In this article, I’ll tell you everything you need to know about message characters.

Sending text messages is a great way to communicate with people because they have short attention spans and frequently check their phones while on the go. Your messages will be received quickly and effectively.

That raises the question: What is the maximum character limit for a text message?

When composing a message, you will notice the numbers in the message composer's lower corner. Yes, that’s the message character count that guides you as you type.

As online security continues to be a top priority, individuals are seeking reliable methods to enhance the protection of their digital assets. Two-factor authentication (2FA) has become a cornerstone of online security, and one popular implementation of 2FA is Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP) authentication. A Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP) is a temporary code that changes every 30 seconds, used for secure logins. Think of it as a secret message that expires quickly, making it harder for digital intruders to access your accounts. 
If you've been using another authenticator for TOTP-based 2FA and are looking to migrate to a more comprehensive solution like TermiiGo, this step-by-step guide will help you seamlessly transition while maintaining the security of your accounts.

Why Consider Migrating to TermiiGo:

Termii Go is a product created by Africans and for Africans which means we have taken into account all your needs.
Imagine a scenario where you're out of your home country, and you need a TOTP code to gain access to any of your digital accounts, but accessing local SIMs for SMS is a challenge. All you need to do is to log into your TermiiGo App and you'll receive your TOTP codes seamlessly whether or not you have access to local SIMs.

TermiiGo isn't just your typical 2FA authenticator. It has a host of other features.
Picture this – all your OTPs and product notifications from all your favourite brands neatly organized in one place: the TermiiGo App.
And that's not all – we're gearing up to launch a new feature which aids two-way communication between you and your favourite brands.

Step 2: Prepare Your Accounts:

Open the authenticator you currently use and identify the accounts you currently have linked.
For each account, navigate to the settings or security section where 2FA is configured.
Look for an option to change or disable 2FA (which will temporarily disable your current TOTP).
Ensure you have an alternate recovery method, such as backup codes or a secondary email, to regain access in case of any issues.
