Cisco and ZixCorp agreement offers Cisco
IronPort Encryption Appliance (IEA) customers the combined
benefits of Cisco and Zix Email Encryption
Cisco and Zix Corporation (ZixCorp), (NASDAQ:ZIXI)
have entered into an OEM relationship for the development and
distribution of enhanced email encryption solutions. The
partnership will focus on two solutions in 2015 – an enhancement of
the Cisco IronPort Encryption Appliance (IEA) and a new solution
that integrates proven components of Cisco® and Zix® technology.
Both solutions will be distributed by Cisco.
In partnering with ZixCorp, Cisco provides existing IEA
customers with a solution that allows them to extend the life of
their IEA implementations, and strengthens the Cisco security
portfolio with new, easy-to-use email encryption from ZixCorp.
The updated version of Cisco IEA will include new hardware as
well as software patches to protect against the latest security
threats. Encryption capabilities, reporting and end user
interaction with Cisco IEA will remain the same, so customers will
have a seamless upgrade path. The updated version of Cisco IEA will
be available in May 2015.
The second solution combines Cisco’s Post X Envelope (PXE)
delivery method with ZixGateway® technology.
ZixGateway is an appliance that automatically exchanges encrypted
email in the easiest manner, including transparently without any
extra steps or passwords for the sender or recipient. Adoption of
this solution in the marketplace will increase the size and value
of the Zix Encrypted Network, benefiting all new customers as well
as existing ZixGateway customers who will experience an increase in
the transparent delivery of encrypted mail to their recipients. The
first version of this new solution is planned for the fourth
quarter in 2015.
“The new partnership with Cisco offers IEA customers an extended
email encryption product with all the same features and user look
and feel as they have today. It also enables the Cisco channels to
distribute a new combined solution that we believe will be
attractive to high-end, enterprise customers,” said Rick
Spurr, chief executive officer of ZixCorp. “We appreciate Cisco
recognizing the competitive advantages of our combined solutions,
and we look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship that
fosters innovation for customers.”
