GlobalSign Introduces "Secure Everything" SSL Certificate

Single Certificate secures multiple Web Sites, IP Addresses, Intranets, Unified Communications

Portsmouth, NH (PRWEB) September 4, 2008 -- GlobalSign Inc (www.globalsign.com), a specialist in SSL Certificate security, today announced a "secure everything / multi-domain" option for its SSL Certificate range -- by using SANs (Subject Alternative Names), it allows a single Certificate to secure dozens of domain names, subdomains, IP addresses or intranet hostnames. The new Certificate option provides increased flexibility, easier Certificate management and lower costs for customers. To launch the new product, GlobalSign includes the ability to secure critical functions for Unified Communications on Microsoft Exchange 2007 and Microsoft Communications Server 2007 completely free of charge.

Multi-domain SANs SSL Certificate

With IT budgets being more carefully controlled than ever, GlobalSign's new offering allows organizations to better manage the costs associated with securing their servers and communications

as multiple IP addresses are not needed, this new Certificate enables organizations to secure such servers and communications that would otherwise remain insecure due to IP address availability issues.

Server administrators also benefit from a reduction in the time usually associated with the SSL application, installation and renewal processes, leaving them with more time to focus on the organization's other critical security matters.

"With IT budgets being more carefully controlled than ever, GlobalSign's new offering allows organizations to better manage the costs associated with securing their servers and communications," says Steve Waite, Marketing Director GlobalSign, "as multiple IP addresses are not needed, this new Certificate enables organizations to secure such servers and communications that would otherwise remain insecure due to IP address availability issues."

Waite continues, "Server administrators also benefit from a reduction in the time usually associated with the SSL application, installation and renewal processes, leaving them with more time to focus on the organization's other critical security matters."

The addition of "secure everything" support further enhances the feature rich GlobalSign SSL range. Other key features include promotional 3 for 1 server licensing, free inclusion of Server Gated Cryptography (SGC -- to step up weak 40 bit browser to server connections to strong 128 bit), and universal recognition by all popular browsers, applications and mobile devices. GlobalSign also recently introduced AutoCSR, a time saving function that creates a customer's CSR on their behalf during the application process allowing anyone of any technical ability to obtain SSL easily.

The new SSL option is available immediately on all GlobalSign SSL Certificates -- including DomainSSL, OrganizationSSL and Extended SSL (EV SSL). It is available to all retail and channel partners, and available through the Enterprise Certificate Center for SSL Managed Server customers.
