After consultation with its global customer base, the service has received
significant aesthetic enhancements to support multiple seal designs, sizes and
formats (static Gif or Flash). In addition to the new style seals, focus has
been placed on using the SSL Secure Site Seals to help web sites educate their
visitors on the security technology they employ to protect against phishing
attacks and eavesdropping. When clicked, the site seal profile displays easy to
understand web site security information and also allows organizations to
display details such as trading address and telephone number. This gives
visitors visible, real-time assurance that the website is authentic and
protected.
Displaying site seals representing trust and security is
essential for web sites to gain the confidence of their visitors, and the
GlobalSign SSL Secure Site Seal acts as a means to communicate to web site
visitors that the site sees its customer's protection as a key priority by
opting for a leading, high quality security solution. This, in turn, increases
user confidence that the web site is authentic and any data transmitted between
the user's browser and the web site's server will be secure.
"With
protection against fraud and phishing placed high in an enterprise's risk
management strategy, the need to visibly show a web visitor that the site is
secure is growing at an unprecedented rate," said Johan Sys, CEO GlobalSign Inc.
"The enhancement GlobalSign has made to the SSL Secure Site Seal service is set
to improve how web sites can communicate their investments in security to web
site visitors, who in turn have the rare opportunity to better understand how
SSL security helps them, and of course, it is all free!"
