Digital Certificates Help Keep Online Experiences Secure

With the explosion of internet technology and the worldwide web, collaboration and information sharing are being conducted at rapid rates. This has resulted in an increasing number of opportunities for cyber theft, malware and corporate sabotage. To improve security for such online transactions, digital certificates are used to authenticate the identity of a website and encrypt information that is sent back and forth over the server. The number of certificates used by organisations vary, from one or two up to thousands – all of which need to be managed efficiently to keep track of expiration and renewal dates. The Comodo Certificate Manager (CCM) is the optimum solution for the management and deployment of digital certificates.
