Hello! I’m curious why fax is still being used in some industries and whether online faxing is actually safer or just more convenient than older methods.

Hello! While researching this, I came across useful details https://www.itsecurityguru.org/2025/01/22/is-online-fax-secure-everything-you-need-to-know/ The page explains that online fax combines familiar workflows with modern security features like encrypted connections and access controls. This is one reason fields like healthcare and legal services still rely on faxing. It also points out that confirmation logs can be helpful for accountability. At the same time, it’s clear that not all services are equal, so choosing the right provider matters.
