Protecting Your Brand & Customers: Business Value of Extended Validation SSL Certificates

EV certificates are designed to provide solutions to help both consumers and businesses combat online threats. An EV certificate contains verified information about the legal entity behind a website, allowing users to make better trust decisions about whom they are transacting with on the internet. Because the entity verification process is uniform across all issuing CAs, users should become more comfortable trusting a site that displays the Internet Explorer 7 EV indicators or similar indicators in other browsers. Business and users are encouraged to deploy Internet Explorer to maximize online safety including dynamic anti-phishing protection via the Microsoft Phishing Filter, support for EV Certificates, product support and other privacy and security enhancements.
