GlobalSign Ltd announced (23-Jun-2009) Virgin Atlantic as the most recent major brand to migrate to its Extended Validation (EV) SSL technology to secure their public facing web site. EV SSL differs greatly from standard SSL making the browser address bar glow green, and providing visitors with visual reassurance that the site they are on is who they claim to be and that their personal information is secure.
EV SSL, perhaps the most significant advancement in how consumers view and understand security on the web, activates the glowing green address bar in the current generation of browsers including IE7 and 8, Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome and Safari and gives companies a means of visibly showing they are a trusted and authentic organisation operating a legitimate web site. These extra visual indicators provide a clear business differentiator for online companies taking preventative action against today's relentless phishing attacks. The adoption of EV SSL by Virgin Atlantic clearly shows its customers their strong ongoing commitment to online safety and security. Extended Validation Certificate support is now widespread and the benefits of increased protection against online fraud and brand abuse can be recognised by the majority of Virgin Atlantic's online visitors.
IT Architect, Virgin Atlantic, Alex New said, "Virgin Atlantic made the decision to migrate their existing standard level SSL Certificates to the latest Extended Validation SSL to provide the highest level of identity trust available to their online customers. GlobalSign were able to deliver the platform and EV SSL products that meet our operational and security requirements and have helped make the switch to EV SSL Certificates straightforward."
Managing Director, GlobalSign Ltd, Paul Tourret said, "Using technology that provides the best defence against phishing as well as higher levels of trust to web site visitors is essential for an international brand like Virgin Atlantic. Virgin Atlantic and its customers benefit immediately from the 'glowing green' enhanced protection EV SSL Certificates provide and we are pleased that Virgin Atlantic is setting the online security standard within its industry."
