Enterprise SSL for Government

Get control of the SSL certificates by centralising certificate purchasing and lifecycle management

A critical competency for any public sector security team is the management of SSL certificates. These certificates power today’s secure e-business applications. GeoTrust offers Enterprise SSL for Government, a powerful yet simple-to-manage process that lets you centralise the purchasing, issuance and management of your SSL certificates that requires no additional hardware or software. The strong vetting process is specifically steamlined to allow public sector bodies to enroll and go live quickly and simply.

Enterprise SSL for Government is a fast, convenient solution, allowing the Government body to submit all of their base domain names for a one-time vetting process. Upon completion of the vetting, the enterprise administrator can use the intuitive web-based GeoCenter to freely request and install the highest quality 128-bit SSL sever certificates within minutes.

Enterprise SSL for Government is used by many European Government organisations as a convenient and cost-effective alternative to managing their own expensive in-house PKI software / hardware. It is also used as a cost-efficient replacement for purchasing multiple individual SSL certificates, and also eradicates the issuance time and management issues usually associated with having multiple SSL certificate requirements.
