A "secure everything / multi-domain" option for its SSL Certificate range - by using SANs (Subject Alternative Names), it allows a single Certificate to secure dozens of domain names, subdomains, IP addresses or intranet hostnames has been announced by a specialist in SSL Certificate security, GlobalSign Inc (http://www.globalsign.com ). The new Certificate option provides increased flexibility, easier Certificate management and lower costs for customers. GlobalSign, to launch the new product, includes the ability to secure critical functions for Unified Communications on Microsoft Exchange 2007 and Microsoft Communications Server 2007 completely free of charge.

GlobalSign's new SSL product, as the most flexible SSL offering now available, allows customers to build a single SSL Certificate that secures multiple sites, applications or functions operating on the same IP address. These could include:

Leaving them with more time to focus on the organization's other critical security matters, server administrators also benefit from a reduction in the time usually associated with the SSL application, installation and renewal processes.

    * Domain names (such as www.abc.com, www.abc.co.uk , xyz.com)
    * Multi-Level Subdomains (such as subdomain.abc.com or multi-level sub1.sub2.abc.com)
    * IP Addresses (both internal and public)
    * Localhost Names (such as local - typically used in intranets)

The ability to secure the communications functions of Exchange 2007 and Communications Server 2007 (Unified Communications, or UC) that hinge around the use of a single IP address is also included. As a new GlobalSign multi-domain SSL Certificate requires only one IP address, it can protect all confidential communications over HTTPS, SMTP, POP/IMAP and other protocols offered through UC. GlobalSign is adding, as a launch promotion, UC capabilities to its SSL Certificate range free of charge - for example the company's DomainSSL with UC capabilities is priced at $199 - making it the most cost effective SSL Certificate with strong security that can secure UC available today.
