If you exchange secure information between Web servers and clients, facilitate server-to-server connections, or support server load balancing or SSL acceleration, you are managing cross-network security for multiple servers. These tips from VeriSign will help you save time and money without sacrificing the trust of your customers.
Managing enrolment, issuance and renewals of certificates one-by-one is tedious and time-consuming. The VeriSign® Certificate Centre allows you to view order status, renew an expiring certificate, or download a backup at any time.
VeriSign offers different levels of control, depending on your organisational needs. With a VeriSign® Certificate Centre Enterprise Account, you can pre-approve organisational and contact information. When you request a pre-approved certificate, VeriSign needs only to verify the domain. If your organisation is the legal holder of the domain, you can expect to receive your certificate within one hour of submitting your request. With Managed PKI for SSL, VeriSign authenticates the primary administrator who pre-purchases VeriSign® SSL Certificates for instant issuance. Administrators can be assigned organisations as well as roles and privileges to manage security, account configuration or certificates.
Reduce your management time by choosing a multi-year certificate whenever possible. When you purchase multiple certificates through VeriSign Certificate Centre Enterprise Account or Managed PKI for SSL, you receive expiry notification alerts and can generate reports based on expiration date in 30, 60, or 90 days.
To ensure a common, high-level standard of security across all types of configurations, VeriSign recommends that you do not share or copy certificates among servers. To support redundant server backups, server load balancing, or SSL acceleration, VeriSign offers a licensing option for certificates.
Concerns about identity theft and browser warnings erode consumer confidence, even on secured pages. The best way to communicate to Web site users that pages are secure and your site is legitimate is to install Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificates and display the VeriSign Secured® Seal, the most trusted mark on the Internet. (See VeriSign Secured Seal.) When shoppers visit a Web site secured with Extended Validation SSL Certificates, new high-security browsers will display your URL in a green address bar next to your company name and the trusted VeriSign name. (Learn more about SSL Security and Extended Validation).
If you have multiple administrators managing SSL Certificates for multiple business units, Managed PKI for SSL enables administrators to customise enrolment pages for instant issuance and generate email alerts for appropriate administrators. The Web-based portal offers a single point for quick response to requests for all your VeriSign certificates across your enterprise.
Internet users the world over still use browsers and operating systems that will not connect at the strongest encryption level available to them unless there is an SGC-enabled certificate on the server. VeriSign is the leading SSL provider of SGC-enabled SSL Certificates, enabling 128- or 256-bit encryption for over 99.9% of Internet users. (SGC: Strongest SSL Encryption.)
VeriSign secures over 1,000,000 Web servers worldwide, including the world's top 40 banks and over 93% of Fortune 500 companies, making us the leading SSL provider worldwide.
When your company protects the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information, your business benefits. Customers complete their transactions online. Partners trust you with sensitive business information. You gain a reputation as a reliable online resource. (E-Commerce, Trust, and SSL.)
