Digitization has revolutionized how businesses deliver services
and products to their customers. Collecting sensitive data, such
as customer information, credit card details, and home addresses,
is at the heart of modern business practices.
Thus, businesses must take every measure possible to secure
their customers’ information. One way of achieving this is by
utilizing SSL certificates. swissns GmbH can help your business to
obtain and implement SSL certificates.
An SSL certificate is a digital certificate that establishes an encrypted connection between a server and a client. An encrypted connection ensures that data transferred between the two parties is secure and protected from attacks that lead to unauthorized access. You require SSL certificates to secure online transactions, such as online banking and e-commerce, where sensitive information, including credit card details and personal data, are transmitted.
SSL certificates utilize a public key infrastructure (PKI) to encrypt data. The SSL certificate contains the public key for encrypting the data and a private key that decrypts the information. When a client connects to a server with an SSL certificate, the server sends its public key to the client, and the client uses this key to encrypt the data. The browser transmits the encrypted data to the server, where the server decrypts it using its private key.
You must first generate a certificate signing request (CSR). The CSR contains information about your company, such as the business name, address, and public key for encrypting data. A trusted third-party certificate authority (CA) then verifies the generated CSR. The CA then verifies the information in the CSR to ensure that it is accurate and matches the company’s details. The verification process may include checking your company’s legal documentation, such as your articles of incorporation, to ensure that it is a legitimate business. The CA issues the SSL certificate after verifying the provided information.
Swissns offers a range of SSL certificates to suit the needs of different businesses. Our SSL certificates provide robust security features to ensure that customer information is secure and hackers cannot leverage man-in-the-middle and eavesdropping attacks to intercept it. swissns GmbH offers the following types of SSL certificates:
These SSL certificates are ideal for small businesses requiring basic website encryption. They verify that the registered domain name matches the company’s details.
We provide OV SSL certificates ideal for medium-sized businesses requiring additional security features. OV SSL certificates verify that the company is legitimate and that the registered domain name matches your business’s details.
We register and issue EV SSL certificates to large businesses that require the highest security levels. Like DV and OV SSL certificates, EV SSL certificates verify that your organization is a legitimate business and that the registered domain name matches your company’s details. Additionally, they display a green address bar in the web browser to indicate that the website is secure.
*Swissns also offers Wildcard SSL Certificates, which you can use to secure multiple subdomains under a single domain name. It is a cost effective solution if your business has multiple subdomains requiring encryption.
