Would you trust your company\u2019s proprietary or government-regulated data to a transmission protocol that was developed over 20 years ago? Probably not, and for good reason.<\/p><p>Even if you don\u2019t know the specific details about data encryption and secure transmission, you intuitively know that hackers and cyber criminals have become much more sophisticated since the turn of the millennium \u2014 and so have the security technologies used to stop their attacks. It simply wouldn\u2019t make sense to safeguard your most important digital assets with such outdated methods.<\/p><p>Another issue is that many fax servers do not encrypt their hard drive\u2019s data effectively, which creates another security weak point for the company. This can be particularly troublesome if the server is connected to the organisation\u2019s network and that network is hacked.<\/p><p>These professional internet criminals have the ability to hack into your company\u2019s back-end system and steal valuable information, such as customer data and credit card details.

Picking up where SSL 3.0 left off, TLS 1.0 was released by the IETF in 1999, and closed the security loopholes that were present in its predecessor.<\/p><p>Although significantly improved over SSL, TLS version 1.0 and even 1.1 have, over time, been shown to have vulnerabilities to certain types of attacks by ever more sophisticated hackers. That is why the latest version,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.efax.co.uk\/docs\/default-source\/efax-corporate\/efax-corporate-tls-data-sheet-(uk).pdf?Status=Temp&amp;sfvrsn=ae148e8f_2\">TLS 1.2<\/a>, is\u00a0<strong>strongly recommended<\/strong>\u00a0for compliance with NHS and other related data privacy guidelines, which require that personal health information, when transmitted across the Internet, be protected through encryption.<\/p><p>The purpose of the TLS protocol is to allow client\/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering or message forgery, by creating a secure, authenticated communications channel (or \u2018tunnel\u2019) between sender and receiver that is protected by the strongest encryption available today.<\/p><p>By \u2018encryption,\u2019 we mean a cryptographic process that renders a communication unreadable and indecipherable by an outside party. Only the person for whom an encrypted message is intended will have the key that deciphers the coded message. And by \u2018authenticated\u2019 we mean a verification process which ensures that the parties to the conversation are who they claim to be and not impersonators.<\/p><p>This process of authentication, and setting up an encrypted communications channel, all happens transparently, as a result of a series of negotiations between the client (typically a web browser), and the server for a secure website, in a matter of seconds. The person attempting to connect to a secure website (as indicated by the HTTPS address prefix), will know they were successful when they see the lock symbol appear in the address bar of their web browser.<\/p><p>TLS can also be used for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ww2.efax.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/07\/efax-corporate-tls-data-sheet-uk-4.pdf\">sending and receiving\u00a0<strong>encrypted email<\/strong><\/a>, in which case the secure communications link will be established between a pair of email servers. This is also the process used to secure eFax transmissions across the Internet.<\/p><p>Again, the process is completely transparent to the people who are communicating over that link, with the exception that they may get an error message if their systems fail to establish a secure connection.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dabf4a0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"dabf4a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What TLS Encryption Means For Your Fax Security<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0f28d87 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0f28d87\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFirst launched in 2016,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/national-cyber-security-strategy-2016-to-2021\">the National Cyber Security Strategy<\/a>\u00a0is aimed at protecting Britain\u2019s small businesses from all manner of cyber-attacks.
