Some security concern related incidents have happened with Twilio in the past. A disclosure made by the company in 2018 highlighted a vulnerability within their system. The flaw would have permitted attackers to obtain access to customer data. Still, the problem received prompt attention and there were no breaches of customer information.

Expanding its offerings and capabilities is something Twilio continues to do for future plans. Their focus is on increasing the potency and customizability of their APIs by investing significantly in machine learning and artificial intelligence. Also, they continue to broaden their global coverage. They plan to open additional data centers and broaden their services in important regions worldwide.
