(The Hosting News) – GlobalSign announced today that it is expanding the GlobalSign brand further into the Dutch market through the launch of a fully localised web presence together with dedicated sales and support services in the local language. This new development will allow enterprises and channel partners in the Netherlands to source SSL Certificates and other security products from the GlobalSign range online, quickly, effectively and hassle-free.
The Netherlands has seen a significant increase in Internet usage in the past few years, and as products and services are brought online, the risk of phishing attacks and other security threats is at an all-time high, driving the requirement for strong security to protect all data exchanged over the Internet (such as client logins and credit card information). The number of websites secured with SSL has increased by over 55% in the past year in the Netherlands, making the country the third largest SSL market in Europe (www.netcraft.com). GlobalSign’s move into the Netherlands is timed to capitalise on this opportunity, as well as the growing local demand for a trusted and reliable alternative to other SSL providers.
SSL Certificates are available directly from the GlobalSign website through a localised Dutch ordering system, and sales and technical support in the local language will also be provided for enterprise and channel customers alike. GlobalSign’s Preferred Partner in the Netherlands, Networking4all (www.networking4all.nl), continues to provide GlobalSign’s SSL Certificates, adding to the local representation and continuing to bring their own significant market expertise to the distribution of GlobalSign solutions, making it easier than ever for customers to secure their websites with Certificates from the well-established GlobalSign brand.
“The expansion into the Dutch market is an exciting development for GlobalSign,” said Paul Tourret, Managing Director at GlobalSign. “We are delighted to be able to make our range of services available to our Dutch customer base, backed-up by a new web presence and dedicated native sales and support services, ensuring a simplified customer experience especially as customers using other Certification Authorities face confusing times due to acquisitions and brand changes, leaving the stable GlobalSign brand as the strongest alternative solution.”
GlobalSign’s comprehensive range of SSL Certificates will be available to purchase from the new dedicated website to suit the needs of organisations of all sizes and all industries, including fast issuance Domain Validation, traditional Organization Validation and the most advanced Extended Validated (EV) SSL Certificates, which activate the green address bar in new browsers such as IE7+, Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari. GlobalSign SSL Certificates provide the ideal answer for customers looking to secure their website, logins, webmail, and other next generation services effectively and all certificates are issued from its future-proof 2048 bit root certificate, hence providing the highest level of security. Feature-packed, all GlobalSign SSL Certificates are inclusive of free Server Gated Cryptography, 3 for 1 licensing promotion and universal compatibility with all browsers and mobile devices.
Establishing itself as a one-stop shop for all PKI requirements, GlobalSign provides a range of security solutions to help companies meet data security and privacy compliance effectively. This includes Digital IDs for secure email, authentication and document signing, as well as ensuring a secure exchange of digitally signed PDF documents through its partnership with Adobe. These Digital IDs, as well as GlobalSign’s Enterprise products for multiple certificate requirements (ManagedSSL and ePKI) are all available to purchase from the GlobalSign website, alongside the GlobalSign SSL products.

(The Hosting News) – GlobalSign today announced the availability of its leading Digital Certificate and SSL products through the launch of a new dedicated Canadian website (globalsign.ca). With language options for sales and support now available in both English and French, GlobalSign can support its growing Canadian customer base and partner network.
As expansion in e-commerce and web service deployments continue to accelerate in Canada, more and more online businesses are in need of security solutions to protect their websites, online data, and intellectual property and ensure they are safe from phishing attacks and online fraud. The most common protocol used today is the Secure Sockets Layers (SSL) which essentially provides a secure channel between two machines operating over the internet or internal network. The SSL market in Canada experienced growth of over 20% during the last year, becoming the sixth largest market for SSL Certificate usage worldwide.*
GlobalSign’s Canadian web site will have both English and French language content available to aid Canadian customers in deploying the strongest SSL security and associated services. By launching a website catered directly for Canadian customers, GlobalSign aims to help protect individuals and organizations against ever growing online security threats by supporting new customers and educating them on how to look for strong website security. GlobalSign is also aiming to contribute to overall SSL market growth and following recent industry upheavals will seek to attract customers who are apprehensive about their existing SSL provider and seeking a more stable alternative.
GlobalSign will be offering its full range of SSL Certificates via the new website, including fast issuance Domain Validated SSL and the most advanced Extended Validated (EV) SSL Certificates, which activate the green address bar in new high security browsers such as IE, Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari. Customers will be able to easily and conveniently purchase SSL to secure their websites, online transactions, web mail and other next generation online services using GlobalSign’s highly trusted and future-proof technology. All GlobalSign Certificates include Server Gated Cryptography (SGC) (to “step up” weak browser-to-server-connections to strong encryption levels), have the option of including additional premium features (for example, Subject Alternative Names (SANs) and wildcard characters to allow the securing of multiple domain names, sub domains, IP addresses or hostnames with a single Certificate). All Certificates are issued from GlobalSign’s 2048 bit Certificate Authority Root, pre-installed in all browsers, operating systems and mobile devices.
“Launching a localized suite of services for the Canadian market and catering to Canada’s language requirements further proves GlobalSign’s ongoing commitment to our global customers,” said Motto Noda, CEO, GMO GlobalSign Inc., “This expansion will improve sales and support services for our existing Canadian customers and offer a much needed alternative to the standard market players.”
