With many people now working from home, the potential for cyberattacks has only increased.
That’s where Zix Corporation (ZIXI) has come into play.
“Cloud data back-up is a critical component of a secure modern workplace, and we believe it will further improve our standing with current and potential partners as we enable them to navigate and thrive in an increasingly work-from-anywhere world,” CEO David Wagner said in a statement. “Our continued, efficient rate of new customer acquisition and the rapid adoption of our Secure Cloud platform both underscore our early success on this long-term secular market trend.”
In addition, not long ago, the company announced the release of its Advanced E-Mail Threat Protection program for the U.K. market. Using machine learning capabilities, the tool offers multi-layered filtering that safeguards corporate inboxes against malicious threats; including phishing, impersonation, malware, ransomware and spam-type messages.
The company also just posted revenue of $54.8 million, which topped estimates for $52.8 million. Adjusted net income of $9.2 million, or 17 cents a share also beat estimates for 15 cents. As for guidance, the company expects fourth quarter revenue of $56.4 million to $57.4 million, which is above expectations for $54.8 million.

Zix Corp. also just announced it acquired data backup company, CloudAlly.
According to a press release from CloudAlly:
- CloudAlly expands Zix’s product suite into Microsoft Office 365 backup, filling growing demand from AppRiver’s MSP channel and Zix’s value-added reseller and direct channels.
- Complementary and synergistic go-to-market motions and end markets with no overlap in the companies’ MSP partner bases.
- CloudAlly enables Zix to enter the cloud backup and recovery market. MarketsandMarkets estimates the cloud back up market as a $1.3 billion market growing 25%.

“With CloudAlly, we can now directly address the growing demand we’ve seen from partners, customers and prospects alike for an enterprise-grade cloud backup offering with a best-in-class solution. In fact, through a recent survey of our MSP partner base, we found that at least 45% confirmed they would purchase a backup solution from Zix if it became available.”
