International Holding Ltd. (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ:
WKEY), a leading global cybersecurity and IoT
company, today announced that is has joined forces with Orbus
Digital (part of the GAINDE 2000 Group) to deploy a complete suite
of security solutions for organizations' websites based on SSL/TLS
services, secured by the OISTE/WISeKey root of trust.
GAINDE 2000 Group, a leading African group in
the field of ICTs. ORBUS Digital is the branch of the GAINDE 2000
Group that develops a range of products and services to facilitate
the administrative procedures and business processes of companies
by means of digital solutions. Orbus Digital and WISeKey have
signed a strategic partnership agreement aiming to generate
synergies by launching new and innovative cryptographic security
solutions in the West African region and in other markets.
The goal is to position the best quality/price
offer on the African market enabling customers to meet the
increasing level of requirements of browsers that limit access to
sites considered dangerous because they do not have SSL.
VP Corporate Alliances & Partnerships of
WISeKey, Carlos Moreno noted: “We are proud to collaborate with
GAINDE 2000 Group in the context of securing the websites of
organizations on African territory using our technology and our
OISTE Root of Trust.”
Daniel SARR, Managing Director of Orbus Digital
added: "The strategic partnership with WISeKey will strengthen
Orbus Digital's pan-African service offering by facilitating the
recognition of SSL certificates on a global scale to enable African
organizations to secure their websites in compliance with
international standards.”
What is an SSL certificate?
An SSL certificate is an electronic certificate
that authenticates the identity of a website and enables an
encrypted connection. SSL stands for "Secure Sockets Layer", it is
a security protocol that creates an encrypted link between a web
server and a web browser.
Businesses should add SSL certificates to their
website to secure online transactions and secure the privacy of
customer information.
To summarize… SSL secures Internet connections
and prevents criminals from viewing or modifying the information
exchanged between two systems. When you see a small padlock next to
the URL in the address bar, it means SSL is protecting the website
you are visiting.
