GlobalSign EV SSL Certificates Secure Leading World Wide Brands

Brands across all major business industries choose Extended Validation SSL to increase trust and confidence in online services.

London, UK (PRWEB) March 24, 2010 -- GlobalSign Ltd (www.globalsign.co.uk), one of the longest established Certification Authorities (CA) and specialists in SSL Certificate security, has today announced that the range of companies choosing to adopt its Extended Validation (EV) SSL technology has expanded across numerous business sectors and continents within the last year. Increasing numbers of organisations with an online presence have realised the need to fully secure their websites, online transactions, web mail and other next generation online services using the strongest and most trusted level of SSL available in today’s market and EV SSL enables them to do exactly this, increasing customer trust and confidence leading to increased website visitor to consumer conversion rates.

During 2009 GlobalSign has seen a dramatic uptake in the number of organisations large and small, switching to EV SSL. Companies including The City Bank Limited in Bangladesh,Zurich in China, METRO in Singapore, Virgin in the UK and Taylor University and BCS Engineering in the US, are some of the latest brands to benefit from GlobalSign Extended Validation (EV) SSL technology. EV SSL shows consumers that these organisations are firm in their commitment to online security and results in building higher levels of trust and confidence, which is a clear business differentiator during times of increasing competitiveness within today’s online markets.    

EV SSL Certificates are issued under much stricter guidelines than standard SSL and companies adopting this standard of security are clearly illustrating their commitment to their website visitors.

EV SSL, perhaps the most significant advancement in how consumers view and understand security on the web, was more traditionally associated with the financial services sector. Companies across industries including health, governmental and educational have now adopted the EV solution to comply with the various security and confidentiality regulations specific to their industry.

Activating the Green Address Bar in the current generation of browsers such as IE7 & 8, Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome and Safari and clearly displaying advanced security and identity information, provides a clear visual assurance to consumers that the organisation operating the website is legitimate. In a time of heightened phishing attacks, online fraud and identity theft, the adoption of EV SSL has become more widespread and sought after than ever before, as all types of organisations operating on the world wide web see the need to elevate their site image, protect their brand from copy cat website, protect their customers’ accounts from phishing attacks whilst also increasing their web sales.

“As a world wide player in the SSL market, with a strong presence in the UK, EU, US and Asia, GlobalSign are delighted to see an ever growing number of websites upgrading to EV SSL across numerous business sectors,” said Paul Tourret, Managing Director, GlobalSign. “EV SSL Certificates are issued by publicly trusted Certification Authorities under much stricter guidelines than standard SSL. Companies adopting this standard of security are clearly illustrating their commitment to their website visitors and we are happy to be able to help such companies lead the way in protecting their brands online and their customers.”
