History
Founded in 2000, Echoworx is headed by its CEO and president Michael Ginsberg, formerly the CEO of CertaPay, an email money transfer technology company.[7]
In December 2005, AT&T was one of the first telecommunications companies in the United States to white-label and provide Echoworx encryption services to its subscribers.[8]
Verizon Communications, a Dow 30 company which delivers broadband and other communication to wireline and wireless customers, launched encrypted email products in December 2005.[9][10]
British Telecom is a leading provider of communications solutions and services operating in 170 countries.[11] British Telecom launched BT Secure Mail and Encrypted Message Exchange (BT EMX) based on public key infrastructure (PKI) in October 2007.[12]
MessageLabs, a provider of integrated messaging and web security services, launched Echoworx policy based encryption[13] and was later acquired by Symantec in October 2008.[14]
Apptix is an application service provider (ASP) technology company providing hosted business services (or software as a service)) for small and medium-sized businesses. It provided Apptix Secure Mail powered by Echoworx as part of its Hosted Email Security Services portfolio. It launched the service in April 2010.[15]
Hostway, an infrastructure-as-a-service provider, partnered with Echoworx to provide encryption services in 2011.[16]
The company's original priority was the small business market, but this has evolved to the enterprise and corporate market.
