Scanning and detection capabilities are key factor in
selection of Zix Email Encryption
Zix Corporation (ZixCorp), (Nasdaq: ZIXI), a leader in
email data protection, announced that University of Colorado
Health (UCHealth) has selected Zix® Email Encryption to provide
consolidated, secure email across its entire healthcare system.
UCHealth consists of Memorial Health System, Poudre Valley Health
System, and University of Colorado Hospital. By using Zix Email
Encryption, UCHealth can communicate securely across its
organization and with its partners and patients to protect patient
privacy and meet the regulatory requirements of the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the
Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health
(HITECH) Act.
“We have very close partnerships with other healthcare
organizations that provide services to mutual patients,” said
Fernando Pedroza, UCHealth’s Chief Information Security Officer.
“Zix Email Encryption gives us a convenient and transparent way to
securely communicate patient data across our regional hospitals and
to other outside partners.”
UCHealth leverages ZixCorp’s sophisticated policy filters to
automatically scan and encrypt sensitive information, such as
personal health information, if it is detected in the email
subject, message or attachments. The policies and automatic
scanning enable 18,000 UCHealth users to protect email and maintain
focus on providing quality patient care.
ZixCorp supports HIPAA and security compliance within healthcare
companies and understands the requirements for email. ZixCorp also
reduces the IT compliance, training, and staffing requirements for
hospitals and other health care providers.
“UCHealth is a prestigious healthcare organization, and its
trust in ZixCorp is a great endorsement for our email encryption
solution,” said Rick Spurr, ZixCorp's Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer. “As we continue to expand our presence in
the healthcare industry, our service becomes easier and easier for
our user community due to the ever increasing transparency in the
Zix Encryption Network.”
