Mar, 2011 : 123-reg Launches GlobalSign Website Passport

📅 March 21, 2011 - 123-reg introduces new trust enhancing technology.

GlobalSign, a Certification Authority and specialist in SSL Partner Programs, recently announced that 123-reg, a domain name Registrar and its UK partner, is launching the new GlobalSign Website Passport product at the FSB Conference in Liverpool from the 17th to the 19th of March. The company avers that the Website Passport allows website owners to conveniently prove their verified identity to users to help establish online credibility, and as such represents the ideal complement to 123-reg's product portfolio.

It explains that the company's Website Passport allows website owners to present visitors with a collection of website and company information vetted by the GlobalSign Certificate Authority - all accessed with a single click. Website owners can conveniently display the easy to understand and standardized identity information on all web pages using minimal space via the Passport Site Seal, and gain instant credibility. The Passport can be customized by the website owner, choosing from an array of trust-enhancing 'apps'. The first batch of apps includes official company information, Web of Trust (WOT) ratings and malware distribution monitoring, the latter of which alerts website owners if their site has been hacked and is unknowingly distributing hidden malware. This alert service facilitates timely removal of any injected code before the website is flagged or blacklisted by search engines. 123-reg will be offering Website Passports as a standalone product to allow all organizations with an online presence to establish their identity, and protect themselves and their customers from malware threats.

The company states that since joining its Partner Program in March 2009, 123-reg has successfully added the company's SSL Certificate solutions to its product range, showing commitment to its customers' security. 123-reg hosted customers can already benefit from the company's 2048bit SSL technology to ensure secure ecommerce transactions, safe in the knowledge that they are using a highly trusted and well established SSL provider and Certification Authority. The GlobalSign Website Passport will be added to the suite of online security products currently offered and provide customers with the ultimate website trust solution.

"We are delighted to see 123-reg complement its portfolio with the latest GlobalSign innovation in delivering online trust. The Internet has become a minefield of fake and fraudulent websites, and the GlobalSign Passport is an essential tool for legitimate sites to build trust with their customers," said Paul Tourret, GMO GlobalSign Limited. "123-reg is once again going the extra mile to help their customers drive traffic to their websites, enhance engagement and conversions, minimize abandonment and protect the website from malware injection attacks and potential removal from Google search results."

"We are delighted to be exhibiting at the FSB event (stand 26), giving us the opportunity to showcase our products to Members attending the event. As a business we are committed to helping people get online, and we believe the FSB event represents the ideal opportunity to do so, whilst also launching our new and innovative Website Passport product," commented Thomas Vollrath, CEO of 123-reg.
