Twitter Acquires Whisper Systems To Bolster Security

Twitter has acquired Whisper Systems, a company that builds enterprise-level security software on Android.

The acquisition will likely be used to improve Twitter’s own security, and assuage worries that the network is vulnerable to hackers and other nefarious types.

Whisper Systems has a number of products in beta, including WhisperCore, robust device and data security for Android, and RedPhone, encrypted voice for Android.

It looks like Twitter has acquired Whisper System to bring aboard its talent, as opposed to its products.
