Redefining the Future of Communication with Privacy

We’re excited to share that RealTyme’s CEO, Onur Özen, and CCO, François Rodriguez, will speak at WSIS+20 in Geneva (7–11 July 2025). They’ll join global leaders to discuss whether governments should have access to encrypted messaging app content—a timely and critical debate in light of AI-driven threats and the post-quantum era. Drawing on insights from the ITU Academy, our session will explore secure, sovereign, and ethical communication solutions like AI misuse detection, sovereign infrastructure, and quantum-resilient encryption.

What if the cryptography securing your government’s most sensitive communications could be broken, not in the future, but quietly harvested today and decrypted tomorrow? What if the AI tools driving your digital services are also introducing new risks you can’t yet detect, let alone control? And what if the very architecture of your communications, the platforms, protocols, and policies, is silently falling behind an era that’s moving faster than regulation can follow?

We’re excited to announce that RealTyme will be attending the 2025 ITU Regional CyberDrill for Africa, organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and INTERPOL, in collaboration with the National Agency for Information Systems Security (ANSSI) and the Centre Africain de Recherche en Intelligence Artificielle (CARIA). 1–4 July | Brazzaville, Republic of Congo.

In the second session of our course with ITU Academy, we turned our attention from legacy GSM and messaging systems to a rapidly evolving and far more complex frontier: data ownership in the age of AI. Our discussions shifted from what we’re leaving behind to what we must urgently design ahead, because the systems we adopt now will define not only how governments communicate, but who ultimately controls that communication.

A massive breach has exposed 16 billion login credentials from major platforms like Apple and Google. This post explores the implications of the breach and practical steps to protect yourself, including using unique passwords, multi-factor authentication, and passkeys. RealTyme gives cyber resilience training to help prevent such breaches by empowering organizations and individuals with the skills and knowledge to safeguard their data and maintain privacy in a post-breach world.

Meta is introducing ads and monetization tools to WhatsApp for the first time—a clear shift from its ad-free roots. While private chats remain encrypted, features like Status ads, promoted Channels, and subscriptions raise new concerns around data use and long-term platform trust. In contrast, privacy-first platforms like RealTyme remain committed to secure, ad-free communication for those who need uncompromised confidentiality.
