Unified Communications Certificates, also known as UC Certificates, or UCC Certificates give you full control of the Subject Alternative Names field so you can secure as few or as many host names as you like with just one SSL certificate.

Although UC certs are usually used in conjunction with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 to 2019, they can be used with any major server type to secure multiple distinct hostnames in one certificate using the “Subject Alternate Name” field.

WildCard Plus, DigiCert’s Wildcard SSL certificate, is the product for you. WildCard Plus certificates have all the features you would expect from a wildcard certificate, along with a few features you may not get with other wildcards.

Code Signing Cert Digital Certificates

Basic Code Signing Digital Certificate

Click to Buy

Code signing certificates from DigiCert allow our customers to digitally sign software or applications, especially those that might be downloaded or run online, to verify that the code being run has not been altered or corrupted. Digitally signing code with a digital signature from a trusted certificate authority, such as DigiCert, prevents unnecessary warning dialogues when end users attempt to run the signed code.

In general, a code signing certificate helps guarantee to users that they are, in fact, running the code they believe they are running, and that the code was written by the individual or organisation that the certificate was issued to.

Secure Site Pro adds;

CT Log Monitoring (by Hardenize) – Certificate Transparency (or CT) Log Monitoring is increasingly becoming a standard best practice for corporate and government security policies. Secure Site Pro’s complimentary CT Log Monitoring is a cloud-based service which continuously monitors CT logs for the customer’s validated domains. The service notifies the customer when a certificate is found to be issued suspiciously or issued from non-approved accounts.

PCI Scan – PCI scan provided by Beyond Security. A PCI scan helps a customer evaluate whether they are compliant with the Payment Card Industry’s digital security standards. PCI compliance is a must for any website which takes payment.
