Zix Email Encryption

Zix Email Encryption (by OpenText) is an enterprise policy-based email encryption and data protection platform engineered to safeguard sensitive communications, financial records, and protected health information (PHI) transmitted via email. Recognizing that manual encryption tools create friction that causes employees to bypass security controls, Zix delivers transparent, automated encryption that inspects outbound emails at the cloud gateway. The platform’s automated content analysis engine evaluates email text, metadata, and attachments against pre-configured regulatory compliance dictionaries, automatically encrypting messages that contain sensitive data (such as social security numbers, medical records, or credit card numbers) without requiring sender action. Outbound messages are delivered through the ZixDirectory—the world's largest secure email directory with tens of millions of members—enabling transparent, seamless decryption for recipient organizations within the network. For external recipients outside the network, Zix provides a secure, branded web portal that allows recipients to read, download, and reply securely from any web browser or mobile device without installing software. Zix Email Encryption empowers organizations to ensure compliance with HIPAA, GLBA, and GDPR while maintaining business productivity.
