Early adopter continues to recognize increasing value in Zix
Email Encryption after ten years of service
Zix Corporation (ZixCorp), (Nasdaq: ZIXI), a leader in
email data protection, announced that Bay Area Medical
Center has renewed its contract for ZixTM Email Encryption in a
three-year agreement. The healthcare organization has used Zix
Email Encryption since 2004 to help meet compliance with the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
(HIPAA).
“We were one of the early pioneers of email encryption use in
Wisconsin,” said Pete Eisenzoph, Director of Information Technology
for Bay Area Medical Center. “Over the years, more healthcare
players in the state have added Zix Email Encryption to their
security strategy. As a result, sending and receiving encrypted
email has become even easier.”
Bay Area Medical Center uses ZixGateway®, a
policy-based email encryption service, to provide secure email to
all employees. Bay Area Medical Center can automatically exchange
transparent email encryption with any other ZixGateway customer
without any additional set-up. More than 200 organizations send and
receive encrypted email with Bay Area Medical Center without taking
any extra steps or entering passwords. Recipients who do not use
Zix Email Encryption can exchange secure email through
ZixPort®, a mobile-friendly Web portal.
“When we originally selected Zix Email Encryption, we thought it
was the best solution on the market. Ten years later Zix continues
to be the leader and provides the ease of use that is so critical
for our users,” said Eisenzoph. “By routing outbound communications
through ZixGateway, we gain the peace of mind that protected health
information is secured and compliant with HIPAA guidelines, no
matter who sends the email.”
“ZixCorp has established itself as a proven leader in delivering
email encryption to healthcare providers – now supporting the
compliance needs of one in every five U.S. hospitals,” said Rick
Spurr, ZixCorp’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The
loyalty of Bay Area Medical Center illustrates the value of our
continued innovation to meet our customers’ needs and the power of
transparency within the growing Zix user community. Each time
another organization embraces Zix Email Encryption, the value of
our utility for sending and receiving secure email becomes even
greater due to the network effect.”
