Feb, 2003 : Zix Introduces Managed and Hosted Email Protection

📅 February 5, 2003 - Zix Corporation (zixcorp.com), a provider of e-messaging management and protection services, today announced the availability of ZixWorks, a fully managed and hosted e-mail protection service.

Because it is a hosted and managed service, ZixWorks operates outside a company's network and acts as a "forward perimeter" defense or firewall against external threats, the company said. It operates within the company's ZixCorp SecureCenter, a redundant network operations center dedicated to secure e-message processing.
The company also said the new offering has already been adopted by a Fortune 200 health insurance firm.
"It is telling when one of the first ZixWorks customers is a Fortune 200 health insurance company, currently in the process of deploying the service to the entire enterprise of over 14,000 users," said Daniel S. Nutkis, ZixCorp's Vice President of Strategy and Products. "Organizations like this one recognize that our fully managed service delivers an entire suite of components to safeguard email and operates in a highly secure and reliable manner."
