GlobalSign's SSL certificates ensure confidence and security with Actinic's customers.

GlobalSign, a Certification Authority and specialist in SSL Certificate security, today announced that it has been selected by Actinic Software Ltd, an ecommerce software solutions provider from the UK, to secure its online payments system using the company's Extended Validation SSL Certificates. The company states that its EV SSL, the latest advancement in SSL technology, enables browsers to activate the new Green Address Bar, a new security information area that visibly shows website visitors the current web site is truly secure, trusted and an authentic organisation.

The company explains that as Actinic's core business is the online market it is crucial they remain one step ahead of today's potential security threats, including phishing attacks, credit card fraud and identity theft. With the development of Actinic's new online payment system, enabling small and medium sized companies to process credit card transactions online whilst being Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard compliant, it is ever more critical that Actinic's customer payment gateway remains secure.

It adds that with the introduction of the new EV SSL Certificate and their support by major browsers, Actinic decided to adopt this standard from the outset - protecting all three of its payment web sites with SSL technology. The company claims that Actinic's decision to switch to GlobalSign from another leading Certificate Authority was due to GlobalSign's global credibility, simplified product range, SSL Certificate features, competitive pricing, as well as dedication to account management and localised customer support.

"We congratulate Actinic on its adoption of GlobalSign's EV SSL security," commented Steve Waite, Marketing Director, GlobalSign, "By implementing EV SSL, not only is Actinic leading the way in how ecommerce enablers can protect their brand from phishing attacks, but also show a firm commitment to protecting customers from these same threats."

"Actinic's success is heavily reliant on the level of trust that we can provide to our clients and their customers" said Bruce Townsend, Marketing Manager, Actinic. "With the ever increasing security threats impacting customer confidence, GlobalSign's EV SSL Certificates easily reveals to customers that we operate secure websites and are the authentic Actinic organization."
