Maintain Customer Confidence with Trustwave SSL Certificates
Online hazards, such as phishing and spoofing, continue to proliferate over the Internet, and as consumers become more aware of these risks, maintaining customer confidence takes priority. Companies must assure consumers of the validity, credibility and security of their Web sites through SSL certification and encryption. Organizations seeking to secure their online communication and transactions rely on Trustwave® SSL certificates. As the first Certificate Authority to offer 256-bit SSL certificates, Trustwave continues to lead the industry by providing the next generation in SSL security protocol along with expert technical support and validation procedures.
The New Standard in Online Security: Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificates
Certificate authorities and Web browser software vendors worldwide have instituted the Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificate Standard to provide for a more secure Internet. With the continued evolution of Web-based exploits, phishing scams and fraudulent activity on the Internet, EV SSL certificates enable secure connections, establish business identities and assist in preventing fraud through a rigorous validation process previously unmatched with traditional SSL certificates.
EV SSL certification includes a meticulous dual-validation process:
• Legal— Establishes legal existence via government records
• Physical— Establishes physical existence of business facilities
• Person— Validates that the person applying for the certificate is authorized by their company to do so
• Domain Name— Standard validation of legitimate domain registration
• Operational— Establishes operational existence via validation that the organization has been incorporated for three years or is listed in various business information databases
The validation requirements for an EV SSL certificate are indeed thorough and complex in order to bolster credibility, however, Trustwave’s expertise allows us to streamline the application process and reduce wait time.
The Green Bar: Greater Security Visibility with EV SSL Certificates
To reinforce trust in the Web site authenticated with an EV SSL certificate, the Internet-address bar in a site visitor’s Web browser shades green to differentiate it from other Web sites. Among others, Mozilla, Microsoft, Opera, KDE and Apple browsers all support EV SSL certificates. In the Internet Explorer Web browser for example, the green Internet-address bar helps customers immediately distinguish a Web site with a valid EV SSL certificate from suspicious or fraudulent Web sites or Web sites that use traditional SSL certificates.
