Knoxville Hospital & Clinics Selects ZixCorp for All of Its Email Security Needs

ZixCorp Email Encryption Services and ZixOne offer
easy-to-use solutions while meeting regulatory standards
Zix Corporation (ZixCorp), (Nasdaq: ZIXI), a leader in email
data protection, announces that Knoxville Hospital & Clinics
has selected ZixCorp to provide secure email communications through
its ZixCorp Email Encryption Services and ZixOne
Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) solution. By using ZixCorp’s email
data protection suite, Knoxville Hospital & Clinics grants
employees secure email access within the hospital and on-the-go,
while meeting regulatory obligations and protecting patient
privacy.
While Knoxville Hospital & Clinics first signed on as a Zix
Email Encryption Services customer, it wasn’t long after that it
chose ZixOne to replace its former MaaS360 mobile device management
(MDM) solution. With the ZixOne solution, if a Knoxville employee
loses his or her phone, an administrator can simply disable
corporate email access on that specific device. Because corporate
data does not reside on the device, Knoxville Hospital &
Clinics does not need to worry about sensitive data falling into
the wrong hands, and employees need not be concerned about the loss
of personal data through remote wiping.
“The switch to ZixOne made sense to our doctors, nurses and IT
administrators,” said Thom Richards, regional CIO for Knoxville
Hospital & Clinics. “With our previous MDM solution, if an
employee’s phone were lost, administrators would be required to
wipe all data from the device — both work and personal. This
frustrated our employees and, at times, they would even delay
informing us of their lost devices — in the off chance they would
find them — so they could avoid an unnecessary remote wipe. Now,
the problem has been solved.”
With ZixCorp Email Encryption Solutions, Knoxville Hospital
& Clinics experiences the benefits of the Zix Encryption
Network (ZEN). With over 11,500 companies and growing, senders and
receivers in the network can rest assured knowing that their
communication is 100 percent secure and as easy-to-use as if they
were using conventional email. Zix Encryption is ideal for the
healthcare industry where there is frequent communication between
affiliated hospitals, insurers and healthcare providers.
“Adopting Zix Email Encryption was a no-brainer,” said Richards.
“We’re able to seamlessly communicate with our partners and other
affiliated hospitals because chances are, they’re in the network
too.”
ZixCorp solutions are used by one in every five U.S. hospitals
and more than 30 Blue Cross Blue Shield organizations. Through its
policy-based email filters, Zix mitigates the risks of sending
sensitive information unencrypted.
“Knoxville Hospital & Clinics sets a great example of an
organization realizing the power of the Zix Encryption Network,”
said Rick Spurr, ZixCorp’s chief executive officer. “Organizations
in the healthcare and other regulated industries face an even
greater burden when implementing email security and BYOD
strategies. Through our Zix Email Encryption Services and ZixOne
solutions, we’re committed to providing effective security
solutions that are easy-to-use, don’t inhibit day-to-day workflow
and are regulatory-compliant. We appreciate Knoxville Hospital
& Clinics for trusting ZixCorp with its most sensitive
information.”
