VeriSign Enhances Managed PKI for SSL Service with Enterprise Certificate Manager.
Improved Service Delivers Powerful Management Flexibility and Control
for SSL Certificates Across the Enterprise
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA. – 25 July 2005 – VeriSign, Inc. (Nasdaq:
VRSN), the leading provider of intelligent infrastructure services for
the Internet and telecommunications networks, today announced significant
enhancements to the VeriSign® Managed PKI for SSL service, designed
to lower the total cost of ownership for managing SSL and other organisational
certificates across the enterprise. Available today, the VeriSign Managed
PKI for SSL service now includes the VeriSign® Enterprise Certificate
Manager (ECM), a feature that provides enterprises with increased control
over their complete organisational certificate environment, through
centralised visibility and management, as well as increased security.
The enhanced Managed PKI for
SSL service allows enterprises to comprehensively meet all their SSL
and other certificate procurement and management needs, while taking
advantage of lower costs through centralised purchasing and control
of multiple organisational certificate types. In addition, VeriSign
Managed PKI for SSL customers can benefit from the assurance of the
VeriSign Secured Seal and the widest protection provided by SSL Certificates
enabled with Server Gated Cryptography (SGC) capability.
“VeriSign has long demonstrated
leadership in enterprise information security through its Managed PKI
for SSL service, widely adopted in industries such as financial services
and healthcare where customer security and trust are paramount,” said
Chad Kinzelberg, vice president, VeriSign Security Services. “As network
perimeters are opened up for internal or remote employees, customers
and partners, it is essential to provide secure access while ensuring
business continuity and maintaining government and industry compliance.
By adding ECM capabilities to our Managed PKI for SSL service, VeriSign
is making it more cost-effective for enterprises to acquire, deploy
and manage all of their SSL and other organisational certificates.”
Organisations of all sizes
rely on Web sites, intranets and extranets to provide access to confidential
information and enable e-commerce. SSL Certificates serve as a baseline
of confidence for customers and employees to know they are operating
in a secure environment. VeriSign is the leading certificate authority
(CA) with more than 10 years of experience. VeriSign has issued more
than 36 million certificates, and has secured 471,000 servers with certificates;
