(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Digital security company and certificate authority GlobalSign (www.globalsign.com) announced last week that it had introduced version 2.0 of its on-demand platform for distributing digital certificates, the GlobalSign Certificate Center.
According to the company, the GCC’s new capabilities help it to provide a single platform for managing application, issuance and renewal for digital certificates from the company’s range of products.
GlobalSign’s range of digital certificate products includes SSL certificates, for securing networks and websites; code signing, which enables software publishers to digitally sign applications and Microsoft Office macros; DocumentSign, for digitally signing and approving Adobe PDF documents; and PersonalSign Digital Ids for digitally signing and encrypting emails and documents.
“The launch of GCC 2.0 opens the benefits of using digital certificates to secure all enterprise communications, applications and documents,” says Lila Kee, GlobalSign’s director of product management, in the company’s press release. “By making all Certificate products available via a unified platform, enterprises can leverage the widespread public trust that GlobalSign solutions offer.”
The original GCC platform was released in late 2007. GlobalSign says the product emerged as “the leading SaaS digital certificate management platform.” The introduction of version 2.0, says the company, will enable enterprises to completely control the process of securing their servers, websites, applications employee identities, email and documents.
GCC 2.0 is immediately available, automatically, to all of GlobalSign’s digital certificate customers.
Earlier this month, GlobalSign announced that it had introduced an upgraded API platform for its SSL products.
