Business Wire
Zix Corporation (ZixCorp), (NASDAQ: ZIXI), the leader in
email encryption services, signed a three-year renewal agreement
with 7-Eleven, Inc. The contract is the third, multi-year
service agreement between 7-Eleven and ZixCorp.
7-Eleven began using ZixCorp® Email Encryption Services in 2004,
sending secure email to partners through ZixGateway, a
policy-based email encryption solution. 7-Eleven expanded its use
of secure email in 2008 by adding ZixMail, a desktop email
encryption solution. In the most recent renewal agreement, 7-Eleven
added ZixPort whereby recipients without email encryption
capabilities can access secure email through the company’s
exclusive, customized portal.
“The protection of sensitive partner information is essential to
our leadership as a trusted retailer,” said Todd Cohen, leader of
7-Eleven’s Information Security, Risk and Compliance practice.
“Email is a critical communication tool in everyday business with
our partners, and ZixCorp Email Encryption Services enable us to
use email securely and confidently.”
7-Eleven leverages ZixGateway to communicate confidential
agreements, invoices and updates to partners. ZixMail is used for
internal communication within 7-Eleven, protecting sensitive
employee information, intellectual property and executive
exchanges.
“Customers in all industries have a need to communicate
sensitive information securely, including customer information,
employee personal information, intellectual property, and board and
executive discussions,” said Rick Spurr, ZixCorp’s chairman
and CEO. “We appreciate the value 7-Eleven places on our solution
as evidenced by their continued expansion of ZixCorp services.”
