ZixCorp Enters Strategic Distribution Agreement
With Security Industry Leader
Cisco
and ZixCorp agreement offers Cisco IronPort Encryption Appliance (IEA) customers the combined benefits of Cisco and Zix Email Encryption
DALLAS March 5, 2015 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 Ciscos 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.

your Cisco sales rep for details.
