As a channel-first company, Zix is dedicated to investing in its channel programs to meet its partners’ evolving needs amid global growth in cloud adoption and the corresponding need to ensure critical data remains secure. Today’s expansion reflects the success of those strategic investments and the desire from Zix’s partners to strengthen their security, compliance and resilience tools.
The company has been implementing product changes based on survey feedback from its 5,000+ partners, including recent strategic acquisition, CloudAlly, a best-in-class cloud backup and recovery solution. These additions continue to strengthen Zix’s Secure Cloud platform, making the previously daunting task of consolidation and migration of multiple vendors simple, all while staying compliant and protected against threats.

“Zix is continuing to expand our partner program globally, with Germany and the UK being an exciting and critical milestone for the program,” said Dave Wagner, CEO of Zix. “Our unique relationship as a Microsoft top partner allows our partners to build a full portfolio of security, compliance and productivity solutions from one vendor. We are excited to bring the dedicated level of support we are known for to both markets, as we continue to expand our dedicated, in country, resources across all key functions.”
