DALLAS --(Business Wire)-- Palisade Systems Inc., a leading provider of comprehensive compliance and content monitoring solutions and Zix Corporation (ZixCorp(R)), (NASDAQ: ZIXI), the leader in hosted services for email encryption, today announced a strategic partnership to add ZixCorp's Email Encryption Services to Palisade's PacketSure content monitoring and filtering solution. Under the terms of the agreement, Palisade will also integrate ZixCorp's powerful HIPPA and GLBA policy inspection technology into the PacketSure solution. This will provide PacketSure a mature technology that has been used for the policy scanning of billions of email messages over the last 5 years.



"By combining our monitoring technology and ZixCorp's encryption service and industry expertise in the healthcare and financial services market we provide a solution that not only protects email messages, but other communication methods, including Instant Messaging, Web-mail, and FTP," said Kurt Shedenhelm, president and CEO of Palisade Systems. "Our combined solution provides a comprehensive content compliance protection solution on all methods of communication. While competing vendors provide pieces of an overall solution, Palisade and ZixCorp deliver a completely integrated solution."

Palisade Systems will now provide advanced content control with early identification of violations, automatic email encryption, centralized policy enforcement and reporting. As a result of this agreement Palisade will also deliver boundary-based email encryption for customers who need to protect sensitive information as it travels over the Internet. With this solution, email can be automatically encrypted based on content or manually encrypted by the end user. By enabling automatic enforcement of corporate policies, organizations can help to control the flow of information in and out of the corporate network and keep sensitive information secure.

"This agreement broadens ZixCorp's reach into the content monitoring and filtering space as we continue to expand our channel distribution capabilities ," said Nigel Johnson, vice president of business development and product management for ZixCorp. "By joining our Email Encryption Service, Palisade customers will now be able to connect to all ZixCorp customers including four of the five federal banking regulators and the one in eight hospitals that use ZixCorp today."
