- One of the Largest Distributors of SSL
Certificates Now Offers the Encryption Everywhere Program from
Symantec, the Leader in Cybersecurity
- Symantec Features Security Champions at
HostingCon this Week, including Chris Tarbell and new Resellers,
who are Closing the Internet Security Gap
Symantec Corp. (NASDAQ:SYMC), the global leader in
cybersecurity, today announced that The SSL Store™ has become the
first reseller of Symantec’s Encryption Everywhere program in the
Americas. With over 7,000 resellers in over 120 countries, The SSL
Store accelerates access to encryption and other advanced security
options for millions of websites. Since announcing the Encryption
Everywhere program in March of 2016, Symantec has partnered with
some of the world’s largest distributors and hosting providers,
including The SSL Store and 1&1 in Europe, to reach its goal of
securing every legitimate website by 2018.
At this year’s HostingCon in New Orleans, Symantec is featuring
some of the security champions who are taking back the internet
from cybercriminals, including Symantec’s guest speaker, Chris
Tarbell. Tarbell is the former FBI agent who broke up the Silk Road
cybercrime network and arrested one of the most notorious hackers
from “Anonymous,” Sabu. Symantec will be exhibiting at HostingCon
July 24-27 in booth #407.
“In March, we set out to secure every legitimate website in the
next 18 months with our Encryption Everywhere program,” said
Michael Klieman, senior director of product for Symantec’s Website
Security business. “As Mr. Tarbell reminds us, there are only two
types of companies today – those who have been hacked and those
that don’t know it yet. We want to flip that narrative. By working
with a large distributor and strategic partner like The SSL Store,
we can encrypt millions of websites at a time, making it harder for
cybercriminals to hack the internet. That’s how we’ll begin to turn
the tide from a world where cybercrime is the norm to cybersecurity
as the de facto standard.”
Symantec is gaining more traction with Encryption Everywhere by
enlisting web hosting providers and resellers, such as The SSL
Store. While The SSL Store has been a long-time Symantec platinum
partner, the company will now offer the full array of Encryption
Everywhere options, from basic encryption to advanced security
solutions to their web hosting partners. The SSL Store’s reach
tends to include many small to medium-sized businesses and
individual websites, a vastly underserved market when it comes to
standard encryption and cybersecurity. The SSL Store is able to
accelerate the adoption of Encryption Everywhere across millions of
websites through their existing network of 7,000 other resellers
plus their current network of customers.
“As the world’s first and foremost Website Security Specialist
Partner, we’re one of the few organizations that has the
technology, APIs, resources and seamless partnership with Symantec
to quickly enable encryption across a lot of websites,” said Bill
Grueninger, COO of The SSL Store. “We’re excited to further expand
our partnership in order to offer easy encryption across any
website of any size, such as an individual, small business or even
an enterprise site through our channel.”
Michael Klieman will host an onstage Q&A with FBI cybercrime
expert Chris Tarbell on Tuesday, July 26, 2016 at 4:00. Mr. Tarbell
will speak about the importance of finding and closing the gaps in
cybersecurity for every business.
