The move to a more digital workplace has many benefits for companies, including reduced costs, increased efficiency and improved mobility. But as digitization's advantages for enterprises have increased, so too has the need for secure business communications.
Work is increasingly being conducted on the go, and employees need to be able to access enterprise files and send sensitive documents without worrying about letting malicious actors into privileged networks through vulnerabilities in a mobile system. Recent data breaches have shown that phone conversations can be listened to and used to steal sensitive information. Cybercriminals have even been able to reroute private calls from organizations to steal money by cashing checks and pretending to be the company when the bank called to authorize the transactions.
While the phone is no longer as necessary a business tool as it once was, other forms of online communication are becoming more frequently utilized. However, those methods have also been under attack by cybercriminals in recent years. Email is easily intercepted by third parties and is a magnet for malware, exposing organizations to spam messages and phishing scams. Cloud-based file sharing services seem to be a good alternative to email, but they have also been known to put users at risk. Popular cloud application Dropbox recently had to disable links to PDFs in files hosted on the site because it unknowingly led to malware.
Communicate securely with FoIP
With all of the security risks involved with business communication these days, companies are looking for a better way to send sensitive information. A reliable alternative to email and other types of communications is Fax-over-IP. FoIP service providers like FaxCore utilize back-end encryption techniques to protect messages. A document sent with FoIP can only be accessed by its intended recipient who holds the decryption key. Messages transmitted with fax-over-IP reside on an organization's dedicated server and are also protected by encryption, making FoIP the safest way for businesses to communicate.
Companies who already have a traditional fax machine can save money on hardware by utilizing FaxCore's etherFAX service, which allows existing machines to be retrofitted to become FoIP-capable. Fax-over-IP also offers businesses added features like automatic document routing, which makes it possible for faxes to be tracked and delivery confirmed.
Enhance and secure business communication, collaboration, and compliance efforts with a proven FoIP solution from FaxCore. Contact FaxCore today to learn more about their 'Partly-Cloudy' fax solutions.
