By Echoworx Corporation, PRNEWednesday, November 10, 2010
PARTNERSHIP TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ENCRYPTION OPTIONS TO INTERMEDIA CUSTOMERS
TORONTO, November 11, 2010 - Echoworx Corporation, (www.echoworx.com) the leading provider of
managed encryption services for complete enterprise email and data
protection, today announced their partnership with Intermedia,
(www.intermedia.net) the world's largest hosted Microsoft Exchange
(www.intermedia.net/exchange-hosting/exchange-hosting.asp) provider.
Following integration of Echoworx' service into Intermedia's HostPilot(R)
Control Panel, Intermedia will begin offering policy-based encryption to its
customer base of over 250,000 users.
Policy-based encryption provides a higher-level of encryption to emails
and is often used by medical, finance and other professional services firms
that must protect client information and demonstrate compliance with
government regulations. With the Intermedia-Echoworx offering, policies can
be set and applied to all outgoing mail to establish automatic encryption.
"By adding policy based email encryption to their hosted services
Intermedia has an advantage over their competitors," says Michael Ginsberg,
President and CEO of Echoworx. "Partnering with Echoworx ensures that the
Intermedia customers get a fully managed email encryption solution based on
industry trusted PKI and S/MIME technology."
"We look forward to integrating Echoworx's Encrypted Mail Gateway service
into our existing platform," says Jonathan McCormick, COO, Intermedia. "Our
customers will have a choice between our current Secure Mail offering, which
gives individual users the option to encrypt email, and this new offering,
which is policy-based and enables companies to enforce employee-wide
encryption standards. As with all our products, customers will be able to
install and manage the service from their HostPilot Control Panel."
Echoworx Encrypted Mail Gateway provides the ability to associate rules
with the content of outbound email to help protect enterprises from
liabilities associated with privacy and data security regulations such as The
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA),
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), and PCI Compliance.
