Xolphin will Offer Encryption to Websites and
Web Hosting Providers throughout the Region, while also Operating
as a Registered Authority for Symantec SSL Certificates
Symantec Corp., the world’s leading cyber security company,
today announced that Xolphin, a Dutch market leader in reselling
SSL Certificates, has signed on as a Symantec Encryption Everywhere
partner in Europe, and is the first company to bring the program to
the Benelux region. In March of 2016, Symantec announced its intent
to help secure every legitimate website and web application.
Symantec’s Encryption Everywhere program gives web hosting
providers a single platform to deliver one of the most
comprehensive security portfolios to their customers.
“When we launched Encryption Everywhere, only 3 percent of the
web was encrypted, and in just over eight months, the program has
provided 57 million more sites various grades of new encryption,”
said Roxane Divol, SVP and general manager for Website Security at
Symantec. “Our partners like Xolphin have made this possible, and
we are excited to continue our work with them as we march towards
our goal to encrypt every legitimate website.”
Xolphin has broad knowledge and experience in providing SSL
encryption and PKI services, from a technical and a customer
service standpoint. As an Encryption Everywhere partner, Xolphin
will offer a wide range of SSL certificates powered by Symantec,
along with a number of premium security packages with increasingly
stronger levels of website validation and authentication,
protection, and trust seals. This combination enables web hosting
companies to integrate basic encryption with every website, along
with a large potential of upsell opportunities to bring in new
revenue streams without incurring a burden to their infrastructure,
sales processes or administration teams.
Xolphin will also operate as Symantec’s first European
Registration Authority (RA), validating SSL certificates for
Symantec brands: Symantec, GeoTrust and Thawte. Leveraging their
ten years of experience as a Symantec partner, Xolphin will
independently perform authentication and validation services on
Symantec SSL orders, with Symantec issuing the certificates.
Xolphin successfully completed an intensive RA certification
program fully adapted to Symantec certificates and multiple RA
exams at the Symantec Dublin office. Xolphin’s expertise in local
languages, regional business standards, and many years of RA
experience will provide faster delivery and support for
Organisation Validation (OV) and Extended Validation (EV)
certificates for customers across Europe. Xolphin’s expedient
process will help improve customers’ sites in search engine
rankings along with visual cues that indicate a safe and trusted
website.
“We are very excited to offer the Encryption Everywhere program
to our valued web hosting partners, and give them the chance to
provide affordable encryption and great upselling opportunities to
their customers. Of course, we are just as excited to take care of
the validation process for Symantec, Thawte and GeoTrust SSL
certificates,” said Maarten Bremer, CEO of Xolphin. “Our
experienced validation and support teams will bring additional
value to Symantec customers and resellers by offering local
verification services and accelerated product issuance times with
expert support and fast response times.”
