Managed security services provider Secure Designs, Inc. (SDI -
http://www.securedesigns.com) today announced that it has partnered
with leading email encryption provider Zix Corporation (ZixCorp ®)
(NASDAQ: ZIXI) (http://www.zixcorp.com) to offer hosted email
encryption services to its small and mid-sized business (SMB)
customers.
Many business verticals are introducing more stringent secure
communications standards, in response both to mandatory IT security
regulations and to their internal needs for protection against
hacking, malware and other threats. By enhancing their outsourced
net perimeter defense plan, secure remote access and email security
offerings with email encryption, SDI simply and affordably adds a
valuable new module of protection for existing and potential
professional services, healthcare, and financial services
customers.
"Our offering delivers automatic email encryption that's
transparent to the sender and, in most cases, the receiver as
well," said Steven Irons, Vice-President of Channel Sales for
ZixCorp. "Our email encryption service, combined with SDI's managed
services, will ensure that even the smallest organizations are able
to comply with regulations without placing an unnecessary cost or
administrative burden on them."
"ZixCorp offers the best email encryption in the market today
both for large enterprises and for single-person offices," said
Larry Cecchini, chief operating officer at Secure Designs. "SDI has
worked with them over several years to develop and target an
affordable, easily-deployed managed services offering that is a
great strategic fit for our SMB customer base. Customers trying to
deploy email encryption on their own would incur significant
startup costs. Using SDI, they are able to participate for an
affordable monthly fee. It's the next logical evolution in the
growth of our value added services."
ZixCorp provides policy-based email encryption services to
organizations of all sizes. ZixCorp's proven Email Encryption
Service is used by the most influential companies and government
organizations including the FFIEC federal banking regulators, SEC,
US Treasury, Wellpoint, Humana and over 30 Blue Cross Blue Shield
organizations. SDI specializes in providing enterprise class
managed security services to SMB organizations including education,
retail, professional and financial services, and manages thousands
of firewalls throughout the U.S. and internationally.
Cecchini added, "ZixCorp represents the gold standard in their
field, and we are very pleased to include their products as part of
our solution."
ZixCorp will exhibit at the RSA Show, San Francisco, March 1 to
March 5, Booth #855.
