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.[1]
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.[2]
British Telecom launched BT Secure Mail and Encrypted Message Exchange (BT EMX) based on public key infrastructure (PKI) in October 2007.[3]
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.[4]
Hostway, an infrastructure-as-a-service provider, partnered with Echoworx to provide encryption services in 2011.[5]
The company's original priority was the small business market, but this has evolved to the enterprise and corporate market.
