ZIXI Zix Corp

Zix Corporation (ZixCorp�), (Nasdaq:ZIXI), the leader in hosted services for email encryption and e-prescribing, today announced the availability of ZixVPM� 3.1. The company�s latest release provides improved performance in scanning and encrypting large emails, and enhanced security and ease-of-use in the ZixDirect �push� delivery option. ZixDirect now also uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to secure email communications to reduce the risk of attacks by cyber criminals. Additionally, ZixDirect users can now securely forward a message and save their password, greatly improving the user experience. ZixCorp�s Email Encryption Service reduces the risk of data leaks, prevents potential security flaws and protects private customer information, all of which have been the focus of recent government regulations such as HIPAA, GLBA and various state privacy laws. ZixDirect is an optional delivery method for ZixVPM users that delivers encrypted emails directly to the recipient�s inbox. With ZixDirect, there is no client software to install and encryption capabilities are not required for the recipient to read the secure message. With ZixVPM 3.1, users that receive a secure ZixDirect message can securely forward the email or add additional recipients when replying. Users can also save their password so reading a secure email is as easy as opening any email attachment. These capabilities combined with the move from 3DES to AES encryption means users get the security they need with the ease-of-use they want. �ZixCorp continues to provide an easy-to-use, robust encryption service which enables our clients to communicate privately and securely with their customers,� said Scott Petry, founder, chief technical officer and executive vice president of product development at Postini. �Expanding our solution with ZixDirect enhances our Postini Encryption Manager Service.� For more information on ZixVPM 3.1 or ZixDirect, please visit http://www.zixcorp.com or call 866-257-4949.
