Sectigo is the largest TLS/SSL vendor and certificate authority with over 100 million certificates issued worldwide. The company provides web security solutions for businesses of all sizes, protecting their online universe. Sectigo’s world-class solutions identify, prevent, remediate and combat against sophisticated web-based threats.
Domain validation (DV) SSL certificates provide the quickest, easiest, most cost-effective way to receive industry-standard encryption for websites and internal systems.
To attain a DV certificate, a company must prove ownership of the domain being secured. Issued in just minutes, DV certificates display trust indicators in browsers, like the padlock icon and HTTPS.
Organization validation (OV) SSL certificates authenticate connections, enable encryption, and activate web browser trust indicators while offering validation of the organization’s identity.
A simpler, faster certificate option for registered organizations, a company can receive an OV certificate by proving it owns the domain it is seeking to secure and is a legally registered business.
Through visual trust indicators — like the appearance of HTTPS, the padlock icon, and a dynamic site seal — visitors will know the site is secure.
Featuring the highest level of protection offered by an SSL certificate, extended validation (EV) is the industry standard for business websites. When an EV SSL certificate is loaded on a site, browsers will display an additional trust indicator, which is the authenticated name of the company adjacent to the web address, often in the color green. Commonly referred to as the “green address bar” or “branded address bar,” this interface element helps users distinguish between the online businesses they intend to deal with and potential imposters attempting to scam them. To obtain an EV certificate, a company must go through a rigorous, standardized authentication process that has not been defeated in more than ten years of common use.
With Sectigo S/MIME email certificates, companies can protect themselves against attacks by rogue actors.
Automatically installed into all mail clients, the public S/MIME certificate adds a layer of defense by encrypting emails both in storage and in transit.
The encryption key archive is accessible to the secure email gateway, enabling signing, encryption, and decryption of emails at the gateway. Utilizing publicly trusted digital signatures, Sectigo is the first company to deliver this capability.
Utilizing certificates that allow developers to digitally sign software before distribution, code signing lets end users downloading digitally signed 32- bit or 64-bit programs know the code actually comes from the developer and has not been modified by a third party since it was signed.
