(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — French SSL aggregator TBS Internet (www.tbs-internet.com) has joined SSL Certificate security provider and Certification Authority GlobalSign (www.globalsign.com) in its SSL partner program and will be promoting its range of Organization Validated and Extended Validation SSL Certificates.
TBS Internet is a key player in the field of online transaction security in France. Established as an SSL aggregator in 1996, and as a Certification Authority in 2006, TBS Internet combines a multi-brand certificate management platform with first-class sales support and customer service. According to GlobalSign’s Wednesday announcement, the newly formed partnership will let TBS Internet’s customers easily obtain and implement GlobalSign’s highly trusted 2048-bit SSL technology to secure their websites, online transactions, logins, webmail and other next generation services.
Partnering with GlobalSign has enabled TBS Internet to complement its current SSL product portfolio by adding a simplified, highly competitive and feature-packed range of SSL Certificates that includes Organization SSL Certificates, which display the organization’s details telling visitors that it is legitimate, as well as the latest Extended Validation technology, which not only displays the yellow padlock on secure sites, but also turn the browser’s address bar green in modern browsers, rendering SSL security more visible to end users than ever before.
GlobalSign’s SSL Certificates also include Server Gated Cryptography, which “steps up” weak browser encryption to strong encryption on older browsers, as well as support for wildcard technology and Subject Alternative Names, to ensure the security of multiple sites with a single certificate, providing all-round flexibility and simplified SSL management.
“TBS Internet has always placed its clients’ needs at the heart of its strategy. Integrating GlobalSign’s OV and EV Certificates into our portfolio gives them more choices and competitively priced services”, TBS Internet chief executive officer Jean-Philippe Donnio said in a statement. “GlobalSign’s SSL Certificates include 3 server licenses at no additional cost and benefit from excellent browser and mobile device compatibility. In a booming French market, our partnership with GlobalSign is highly promising, as it successfully combines GlobalSign’s high security certificates with TBS Internet’s sales and technical expertise.”
GlobalSign channel director Steve Waite said TBS Internet is a welcome addition to the partner program. “As the demand for GlobalSign certificates is constantly growing in Europe, our partnership with TBS Internet is key in making our products accessible to a much wider audience” he said. “Organizations of all sizes can now use the best SSL security solutions to protect their site and their brand in the face of ever-increasing online security threats, whilst also benefiting from TBS Internet’s unsurpassed experience in the field.”The GlobalSign partner program is designed for ISP’s, Web Hosts, Integrators, Domain Registrars and VARs to enable SSL Certificates to easily be integrated into product ranges as a value-add or revenue-generating product. An increasing number of partners are switching to GlobalSign to take advantage of its SSL program and the financial opportunity it offers. With four partnership levels available, the Program is conceived to match specific requirements, as partners can benefit from varying levels of pricing discounts, product integration, customer support and marketing and sales resources to further enhance the SSL reselling opportunity.
Last month, GlobalSign integrated its SSL reselling module with the latest version of hosting solution management platform WHMCS (www.whmcs.com), making it possible for WHMCS users to instantly order and automate the reselling of GlobalSign SSL certificates directly from the WHMCS management platform, helping web hosts provide SSL certificates as a value added product in addition to their current product portfolio.
