Irvine-based Zix Corporation, a leading email encryption service, has recognized Virtual Graffiti Inc. as the 2011 ZixCorp Partner of the Year. It is the third consecutive year that the company has earned the recognition since becoming a ZixCorp value added reseller (VAR) in 2008.

"It is an honor to be selected as the 2011 ZixCorp Partner of the Year for the third consecutive year," said Hillel Sackstein, president and CEO of Virtual Graffiti. “Virtual Graffiti relies on ZixCorp's industry-leading, affordable email encryption solutions to protect our customers' exchange of sensitive information and meet federal and state privacy regulations."

An IT services provider in business, education, and government, Virtual Graffiti offers ZixGateway, a policy-based email encryption service, to medium- to large-sized entities and ZixMail, a desktop email encryption service, to small businesses and individuals. Recipients who are not ZixCorp clients can employ the mobile-friendly ZixPort, a secure Web portal, to conveniently receive and reply to encrypted email. Encrypted email through ZixPort gives unique and efficient mobile support with one-click access, allowing recipients to avert inconvenient steps and distorted layouts.

"We value our strong partnership with ZixCorp, which allows us to offer our clients an array of email encryption solutions for their desktops, laptops and mobile devices,” said Ryan Lipschitz, Vice President of Engineering, Virtual Graffiti. "We also rely on support from ZixCorp's channel team for services that range from training to marketing, all of which help us deliver stellar customer service to our clients and maximize sales."

In 2011, the ZixCorp Partner Program increased to 93 VAR partners and 82 managed service provider (MSP) partners, a rise of 79 percent and 52 percent respectively. Companies that are a part of the ZixCorp Partner Program experience advantages including committed sales and technical representatives, training, qualified lead sharing and marketing support.

“In 2011, ZixCorp increased its market reach, due in part to our successful relationships with channel partners such as Virtual Graffiti,” said Rick Spurr, ZixCorp’s chairman and CEO. “Once again, we are proud to recognize Virtual Graffiti as Partner of the Year. We look forward to continuing this prosperous relationship in the year to come and building on the channel program for continued mutually beneficial success.”

Zix Corporation’s design emphasizes the protection of important relationships within the tens of millions of ZixDirectory members. A number of influential companies and government organizations rely on the security of the Email Encryption Services such as WellPoint, Humana, the SEC and more than 1,200 hospitals and 1,600 financial institutions.
