Continuous Improvement process has been considered as per enterprise security industry best practices. The fundamentals of security triads; Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability (CIA) of data has been ensured. The data is either
- owned by Telos members and/or
- is processed on their behalf by 3rd party participants and/or distributed applications.
The Telos Networks:
The Telos platform comprises of three distinct networks:
MainNet
It is the production network where all official Telos value and transactions are recorded.Staging Net
It is used to receive all new code updates for at least 24 hours prior to incorporating them into the MainNet. DApp developers who wish to remain extremely current on each new version may also utilise it.TestNet
It is a network for developers and others to have a full but valueless version of the network for testing.

Block Producers (BPs) Candidates may join the Telos network at an appropriate level (depending on their choice and maturity) as listed below:
- Establish a TestNet node comprising of all the Telos components (plug-ins) and perform a prescribed number of tests.
- Build Staging Producer, Chain & Full Nodes or upgrade the TestNet node to meet the minimum requirements of the MainNet nodes with which the BP is planning to join.
- Establish MainNet presence in addition to Staging and similar in specification.
- Add a MainNet Seeding-Node.
- Add a load-balanced Full-Node and a backup file-system for fast blockchain playback.
- Add DDoS protection, security event monitoring, alerting, command and control capabilities.
