Corporate risk is also significantly reduced through embedded data loss prevention (DLP) functions, which can detect sensitive content, patterns or images in a message body or within attachments. To ensure message security to any destination, Cisco IronPort PXE Secure Messaging provides gateway to desktop encryption and authentication without needing special end-point agents or PKI infrastructure.

This cross-protocol management solution provides a single location to manage policies as well as the visibility to protect organizations from blended attacks and ensure corporate compliance. The ability to identify data leaks and threats across protocols ensures that security decisions can be made based on the holistic view of an entire organization. The time-saving features and efficiencies enabled by Cisco IronPort management technologies offer a compelling low total cost of ownership and accelerated return on investment.

3. In today's fast paced eCommerce world, companies that adopt the new languages like XML are surviving, and the ones that cling to outdated systems are stagnating. XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language, but that is a bit of a misnomer. XML is more of a meta-language, a language that defines how to create other languages. Its strength lies in the (mostly) plain text nature of it and it's child languages.
Instead of other languages, that can sometimes be cryptic at best, you can understand most XML files just by opening them in a browser and reading them. This has brought XML to the reach of more than just programmers

XML is closer to a meta-language than a true language. What this means in practicality is that as XML is adopted in an industry, a specific set of schemas, or framework, is created and shared as a standard.

• cXML:
  commerceXML: Designed to facilitate communication between many different companies and different eProcurement systems.
• adsML:
  A business to business eCommerce advertising standard to communicate between newspapers, advertising agencies and broadcasters
• BeerXML:
  A standard for exchanging data amongst breweries
• ePUB:
  A common open e-book standard to work across a multitude of e-readers
• RailML:
  A standard for the railway industry to communicate specifications.
  
  
  
  cXML integration for an eCommerce website is a very sound choice. cXML is one of the most popular choices to enable the use of Punchout Catalog eProcurement systems. eProcurement software systems enable the buyer to connect directly with their suppliers directly inside of their own systems. More integrated systems benefit greatly streamline supply chain management; buyers can automate their orders or increase them with a few clicks of a button, and suppliers can have real-time data on their buyer's needs.
  
  To summarise
  1. Companies interact easily and effectively by connecting to their servers, applications, databases
  2. Standard protocols and data-representation schemes are needed
  3. Web is based on the standard communication protocols useful only for displaying static visual Web pages:
  4. XML (eXtensible Markup Language)—standard (and its variants) used to improve compatibility between the disparate systems of business partners by defining the meaning of data in business documents. It is used to increase:
  5. nteractivity
  6. Accessibility with speech recognition systems
  
  
  2. There are various scams arising from Covid-19
  Some of them are mentioned below
  
  
• Treatment scams:  Scammers are offering to sell fake cures, vaccines, and advice on unproven treatments for COVID-19
  
• Supply scams:  Scammers are creating fake shops, websites, social media accounts, and email addresses claiming to sell medical supplies currently in high demand, such as surgical masks. When consumers attempt to purchase supplies through these channels, fraudsters pocket the money and never provide the promised supplies.
  
• Provider scams: Scammers are also contacting people by phone and email, pretending to be doctors and hospitals that have treated a friend or relative for COVID-19, and demanding payment for that treatment.
  
• Charity scams: Scammers are soliciting donations for individuals, groups, and areas affected by COVID-19.  
  
• Phishing scams: Scammers posing as national and global health authorities, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), are sending phishing emails designed to trick recipients into downloading malware or providing personal identifying and financial information.
  
• App scams: Scammers are also creating and manipulating mobile apps designed to track the spread of COVID-19 to insert malware that will compromise users’ devices and personal information.
  
• Investment scams: Scammers are offering online promotions on various platforms, including social media, claiming that the products or services of publicly traded companies can prevent, detect, or cure COVID-19, and that the stock of these companies will dramatically increase in value as a result. These promotions are often styled as “research reports,” make predictions of a specific “target price,” and relate to microcap stocks, or low-priced stocks issued by the smallest of companies with limited publicly available information.
