Echoworx, a global leader in cloud-based email encryption, has entered into a strategic partnership with SwissSign, a prominent Swiss trust service provider renowned for its secure digital certificate solutions. This collaboration leverages SwissSign’s Swiss-made standards—rooted in the security of Swiss bank-stored root key material and operations managed exclusively within Swiss data centers.
This partnership underscores Echoworx’s commitment to expanding its presence in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), a market known for its stringent regulatory requirements and focus on data protection. With email security becoming a cornerstone for safeguarding revenue, reputation, and regulatory compliance, this collaboration aims to address challenges in adopting advanced security measures.
According to Gartner, only 40% of organizations have implemented enhanced email security, with many citing the complexities of deploying S/MIME solutions. Together, Echoworx and SwissSign will simplify and automate email security, delivering seamless, user-friendly solutions tailored to the unique needs of businesses in the region.
