The recent headlines about vulnerabilities in Signal, a messaging app long touted for its end-to-end encryption and privacy-first design, have sent ripples through the cybersecurity and communications worlds. For professionals in communications, marketing, and PR who rely on secure channels to manage sensitive conversations, these revelations are more than just technical footnotes. They raise urgent questions about how secure our “secure” tools really are, and what’s at stake when those tools fall short. The truth is, no system is immune to exploitation. And when even the most trusted platforms show cracks, the consequences stretch far beyond the IT department.
High-security messaging apps like Signal can be compromised, either by human error or cyberattacks. What does this mean for organizations managing sensitive data, and what should leaders in communications and security be doing right now to reduce exposure? This is not a theoretical exercise. It’s a call for a more disciplined, better-informed approach to communications security, one that acknowledges the real-world tactics of threat actors and the operational blind spots that too many organizations still ignore.
