When exchanging critical business information such as EDI purchase orders, price data, orders, or confidential healthcare patient records, insurance files and other sensitive data, the communication method must be secure. Secure data exchange is in some cases a legal requirement such as with HIPAA regulations, and other times a business necessity to protect sensitive data from getting into the wrong hands. Secure data exchange over the Internet can take place using a variety of methods including Internet protocols AS2, AS3, ebMS, SMTP, HTTP/S, FTP/S, OFTP, FTP with PGP, SSH FTP and MQ Series®. ECS provides secure Internet communications solutions to automate and speed the flow of information between businesses.

Using the Internet for secure communications allows businesses to utilise existing communication lines and reducing the high costs of traditional networks and leased-line telecommunications. Also, using secure communication systems can help companies extend past the limitations of traditional networks by allowing them to enter new markets and expand their operations worldwide. Secure Internet communication, along with the specialised applications designed around it, is making secure communication systems increasingly economical and effective.
