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 solution as a product that secures email infrastructure. Its primary purpose is to protect against malicious messages (phishing, social engineering, malware) 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. Email security solutions may also support nonemail collaboration tools, such as those for document management and instant messaging. Email security tools protect an organization’s email from spam, phishing, malware attacks, account takeover and data loss. They may provide capabilities for data loss prevention, encryption, domain authentication and security education, as well as advanced protections against business email compromise. Email security platforms give cybersecurity teams visibility into email-related security incidents, support investigation and automated remediation, and enable management of both inbound and outbound email delivery. Email security solutions often integrate with other network, identity and endpoint security controls, and may also support collaboration tools and email relay capabilities.
