Palisade Systems PacketSure Device Now Able to Monitor, Block and Encrypt Employees' Outbound Communications That Contain Proprietary Information and Consumers' Sensitive Data WEST DES MOINES, Iowa, Oct. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Palisade Systems, a leading provider of content and network security appliances designed to thwart internal threats to sensitive data, announced today that its security compliance device, dubbed PacketSure, will now be able to monitor, block and encrypt employees' outbound communications (email, IM, Web-mail, etc.) and ensure HIPAA and GLBA compliance as a result of a strategic partnership with Zix Corporation (ZixCorp(R)), (NASDAQ:ZIXI). The announcement comes just after a national survey and report was authored by Palisade Systems and Dr. Doug Jacobson of Iowa State University, which concluded accidental or malicious data leaks by employees pose the biggest data security, monetary and compliance threat to organizations. "By combining our content monitoring and blocking technology with ZixCorp's encryption service, we will now be able to guarantee another level of content security to organizations that require their confidential data remain confidential to only authorized personnel," said Kurt Shedenhelm, CEO and president of Palisade Systems. "While competing vendors provide pieces of an overall content security solution, Palisade and ZixCorp deliver a completely integrated solution that ensures private content is protected even after its been checked and approved internally for outbound delivery."
