B2B gateway software is integration middleware that supports information exchange between your organization and its ecosystem trading partners, applications and endpoints. BGS consolidates and centralizes data and process integration and interoperability between a company's internal applications and external endpoints, such as business partners, SaaS or ecosystems. The BGS market is a composite market that includes pure-play BGS solutions and BGS that is embedded or combined with other IT solutions (for example, ESB suites that support BGS features as services connected to the ESB suite, integration brokerage services, e-invoicing software and networks, application platform suites, electronic data interchange [EDI] translators, and managed file transfer [MFT] technology).
Cloud fax supports sending and receiving faxes without the usual fax machines, phone lines, or on-premises digital fax server software. All fax communications are instead digitized and sent via the Internet Protocol (IP) network to the cloud before routing to the analog fax machines and fax-enabled printers connected to the telephone and IP networks or, indeed, to cloud-based fax recipients. Cloud fax services allow enterprises to avoid on-premises telephony costs related to fax phone lines or IT costs to support the on-premises fax infrastructure.
Gartner defines an email security platform as a product that secures email infrastructure. Its primary purpose is the removal of malicious (phishing, social engineering, viruses) or unsolicited messages (spam, marketing). Other functions include email data protection, domain-based message authentication, reporting and conformance (DMARC), investigation, and remediation through a dedicated console. These solutions may integrate as a secure email gateway (SEG) for predelivery protection or as an integrated cloud email security (ICES) solution for postdelivery protection. Email security platforms protect an organization’s email infrastructure from social engineering, phishing, business email compromise, spam, malware attacks and data theft. These platforms are deployed independently but integrated with other network and endpoint security controls to improve the overall risk posture of the organization. They offer cybersecurity teams visibility into email-related security incidents for investigation and remediation.
