Choose a management tool with
a single point of control.
Managing enrolment, issuance and renewals of
multiple certificates one-by-one is tedious and time-consuming. Our
single-point of control gives you one interface with audit logs to manage
certificates for your whole organisation. Prevent overlap or certificate
lapse with this easy-to-use interface. |
2. |
Look for instant issuance with high-quality
authentication.
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. |
3. |
Take advantage of volume pricing.
When you purchase certificates in multiples,
you may save 20% to 40% or more (depending on the number and type of
certificates purchased). Each certificate’s validity period begins when
it is issued by the Managed PKI for SSL administrator. |
4. |
Take advantage of a longer validity period.
Cut your management time into a fraction of
what it was and reduce costs by choosing a 2-year or 3-year certificate
wherever possible. |
5. |
Issue a unique certificate for each server.
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. |
6. |
Provide your customers with a verifiable
trust mark.
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 you are who you say you
are 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 name and the trusted
VeriSign name. |
7. |
Customize enrolment pages to streamline
processing.
VeriSign provides you with templates to create
your own enrolment pages for instant issuance without human intervention.
The administrator sets permissions for users and tasks. Create your
own look and feel and include server-specific instructions to make the
enrolment and installation process seamless for your users. |
8. |
Choose the strongest possible SSL Certificates.
Many millions of Internet users worldwide use
browsers that will not connect at 128-bit encryption unless there is
an SGC-enabled certificate on the server. VeriSign (including its affiliates,
subsidiaries and resellers) is the only leading SSL provider to offer
SGC-enabled SSL Certificates, which provide 128- or 256-bit encryption
for over 99.9% of Internet users. (SGC:
Strongest SSL Encryption.) |
9. |
Purchase certificates from a trusted,
experienced SSL provider.
VeriSign SSL Certificates secure more than
450,000 Web servers, making us the leading SSL provider worldwide. We
provide cryptographic hardware, configuration wizards, enrolment Web
templates and installation guides. All you need is a Web browser and
an Internet connection. Round out your network security with managed
firewall, managed VPN, email security, anti-phishing or other critical
security services from VeriSign. |
10. |
Protect your reputation and improve your
online business.
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. And you gain a reputation as a reliable online
resource. (E-Commerce,
Trust, and SSL.) |
