First United Security Bank Chooses Zix Corp. (ZIXI) Product for Bring-Your-Own-Device Program

Leader in email data protection, Zix announced today that First United Security Bank (FUSB) has chosen ZixOne™ for its Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) program. The program enables employees to use personal mobile devices for work.

ZixOne™ will be used to stream FUSB’s corporate email through employee smartphones and tablets, while not allowing data to reside there. If a mobile device is lost or stolen, a FUSB administrator can simply disable access to corporate email from that device through ZixOne™. Since corporate data does not reside on the device, it is not exposed and does not have to be wiped or deleted from the device. In short, the service reduces liability risks and protects corporate data without hindering employee convenience or privacy.

“In evaluating BYOD security solutions, we determined that having access to employees’ personal information and the capability to wipe their data added unnecessary layers of complexity and exposed us to legal concerns,” said FUSB’s Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer, Phillip Wheat. “ZixOne™ delivers a unique approach that provides excellent BYOD security with a pleasant user experience – all from an existing relationship that we trust.”

ZixOne™ is priced per employee for use across iOS and Android devices. It can be deployed with Microsoft Exchange in less than an hour, and the app can be downloaded to the user’s device in less than a minute.

Wheat added, “Simplicity is part of the beauty of ZixOne™. Our employees installed and used the app on their own, without any training. Setup was just as convenient, and its cost and strict security standards align with our BYOD needs. [It’s] a very usable app that gives our employees the connection they need to office email, calendar and contacts without putting our data at risk.”
