One of the safest and most reliable methods of communication for sensitive data is through faxing. Despite seeming like an old-school method of communication, faxing continues to be widely used especially as we enter a new era of cloud-based faxing solutions.
There's no denying that online communication has become an integral part of modern business. However, as the internet has evolved, so has hacking and cyber-crime. This means that data transmission through email or file-sharing leaves businesses vulnerable to fast-evolving online threats. Attackers can intercept messages, steal sensitive information, and launch a cyber-attack without the victim even realizing it. This is especially important where data security is paramount such as industries that deal with highly sensitive information like healthcare, legal, and finance.
Faxing remains hassle-free, efficient, and most importantly is a secure method of data transmission. Fax machines leverage encryption technology just like online communication for greater protection. This encryption means that sensitive information sent with a fax is secure end-to-end; from the sender to the receiver. Only authorized recipients can open and read the contents of a fax, unlike email, where forwarding can easily be done without the sender's knowledge or consent. 256-bit encryption is currently the most secure technology in use today.
