SSL Certificates
SSL Certificates
Domain Validated Certificates
These are basic certificates that only proves you own the domain/site and the details between you and your user is encrypted. The CA (vendor i.e.: Symantec) just validates here that XYZ is your domain, but doesn’t provide or display any details about you to the user. For this type of certificate, trust levels are low for the user.
View CertificatesOrganization Validated Certificates
Typically known as OV certificates, the CA validates your domain as well as your organization details, to determine whether or not it’s a legitimate organization doing business. Typically, CAs check details about your organization in various different ways (like your local business registry for example). The source of validation differs from product to product.
View CertificatesExtended Validation Certificates
Typically known as EV certificates, in addition to the steps in OV, the CA performs additional steps of validation before issuing an EV certificate. EV certs have highest level of encryption, security and trust. Some products have as many as 9 total variations of validation steps necessary. Once you go through the EV process directly with the CA, the certificate enables all of the browser trust indicators, such as the green bar in the browser’s URL window, this is has highest trust-value with your users. When the whole address bar in the browser is green, it has been proven to result in higher conversion ratios.
View CertificatesWildcard Certificates
Wildcard certificates are the ones that secure an umbrella of sub-domains. This can be a cost-effective way to secure many of your sub-domain sites with a single certificate. For example, a certificate issued to *.google.com , will secure abc.google.com as well as xyz.google.com or any other combinations, as long as there is .google.com in the end. Wildcard certificates typically come in DV and OV variants.
View CertificatesMulti-Domain Certificates
A multiple domain certificate allows you to secure multiple domains with a single certificate. The difference between Wildcard and Multi-Domain certs is that with multi-domains you can only secure a pre-defined list of domains, meaning you have to declare what domains you are going to secure upfront. To add or remove domains to that list during a validity period of an active/in-use certificate, you have to go through a process called “Re-issue of certificate”.

Today more than ever, people rely on the Internet to send and receive personal information. Mortgages are signed. Bank accounts are opened. Applications for employment with social security numbers are submitted. The list goes on and on. And the only way that this is accepted is because of truly advanced encryption technology like you find in email and document signing certificates. With this tool at your disposal, you can send and receive sensitive information without worrying about the true identity of the sender or the data being compromised.

Code signing certificates are a useful tool that can be used to protect your code, content, and other files when transmitted online. Understandably, people are leery of downloading any applications that they can't trust onto their computers, which is why code signing certificates are so valuable. By signing your file extension with this encryption technology, a third party Certification Authority (CA) will confirm you as the author of the file and the certificate will automatically alert the user if any changes are made to the code. That way you don't have to worry that someone has altered your work without your knowledge.
View CertificatesWebsite Malware & Vulnerability Scanning
We all know how annoying, not to mention hazardous a hacked website can be. And since malware is designed to make very small changes to your code, an infection to a website can be difficult to detect for even the most tech-savvy individuals. Make your life easier and protect your business by implementing website scanners to detect vulnerabilities and malware...and show you how to quickly fix any issues that happen. That's because every Symantec Pro and EV SSL certificate comes standard with a free malware scanner. If one of your pages somehow gets infected, you're alerted immediately so you can address the problem. You don't even have to install any extra software. In your face, malware!
