COLUMBUS, Ohio & DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Zix Corporation (ZixCorp), (NASDAQ: ZIXI), the leader in email encryption services, will offer secure email to an additional 10,000 state government employees in a new contract with Ohio.

ZixCorp Email Encryption Services are also used by 22 other state governments and agencies. Similar to the state of Ohio, ZixCorp looks to build on these relationships and expand usage to more departments and users within these states.

“We have developed a reputation as a reliable resource for state government organizations, which is evident in our increasing presence in state governments and agencies. We look forward to expanding these relationships and developing new ones,” said Spurr. “Our patient and deliberate investment in the public sector is beginning to deliver meaningful results as usage grows.”
