CTS made the switch from Cisco's (News - Alert) IronPort Encryption Appliance (IEA) to ZixCorp for its industry-leading transparency, encryption technology and support. An affiliate of Central Bancompany, CTS provides banking operations to Central Bancompany's financial service institutions, enabling 2,200 employees to communicate sensitive information securely. Whether the information is being sent to a Central Bancompany partner who also uses Zix Email Encryption or a customer who has no email encryption capabilities, ZixCorp offers flexible decryption and secure reply options. "When we decided to update our email encryption solution, we found the best solution is offered by a company that focuses on email security," said Mike Nanneman, Manager, Network Services at CTS. "With ZixCorp, we get a tested and trusted solution that is easy for our employees, customers and partners to use. Beyond its proven products and services, ZixCorp gives us first-class customer support and greatly simplified our transition from IEA."

Recipients who also use ZixGateway receive secure messages that are automatically decrypted without any extra steps or passwords.
