"ZixCorp's reputation as a leading hosted encryption service in the banking industry made our decision easy," said Jerry Warrick, operations/technology director, Bank Iowa. "ZixCorp's solution is superior in every way to our previous technology. ZixDirectory is the de facto email security service for banking, which gave us the practical advantages of instant and seamless key exchange within our community of users and with our regulators. The fact that ZixCorp's offering is hosted is a benefit for us."

ZixCorp's Email Encryption Service provides automatic seamless encrypted email among all ZixCorp customers. ZixCorp's financial customers use the ZixDirectory to gain easy encrypted email access to federal regulators, state regulators or other community members. ZixCorp allows Bank Iowa to easily administer passwords and enforce corporate email security policies without being a burden on resources.

"Our Email Encryption Service continues to be the first choice in the financial services community because of our large interoperable network," said Rick Spurr, chief executive officer for ZixCorp.
