ZixCorp provides automated key management for all its customers including companies in a variety of industries such as financial services, healthcare, insurance, and government.

ZixCorp’s vast network includes companies in industries that consider security and privacy critical. For example, our health insurance customers cover more than 60 million lives, which means ZixCorp customers insure one in three privately insured Americans.

ZixCorp’s Email Encryption Service delivers encrypted messages to anyone through flexible delivery options. Encrypted email is automatically delivered in the manner that works best for the end user through our Best Method of Delivery™ capability (see figure below). ZixCorp supports desktop and gateway clients using a variety of encryption standards such as S/MIME, OpenPGP and TLS. In addition, ZixCorp provides two different methods of delivering encrypted emails to users who do not have encryption capabilities. These clientless delivery options include a secure portal “pull” and direct delivery “push” model. No matter what the email encryption capabilities of the recipient, ZixCorp will encrypt and deliver email to them.

HIPAA, GLBA, SOX, state data security laws and guidance from FFIEC agencies make it clear that protecting sensitive information is no longer optional. Securing your customer’s private information not only protects your organization from fines, lawsuits, and negative publicity, it also improves customer trust. ZixCorp’s Email Encryption Service provides automatic detection and encryption of email containing personal health information (PHI) and nonpublic personal information. These proven policy tools can be customized to fit the needs of your organization’s email policies.
