The Myth of Server-Gated Cryptography
Avoid introducing your organization to serious online security threats
As security vendors compete for market share for SSL certificate sales, some attempt to gain a better foothold by claiming that expensive Server-Gated Cryptography (SGC) certificates are required for 128-bit security. This just isn't the case. SGC is not required to enable 128-bit security for virtually all browsers deployed today.
In fact, did you know that SGC certificates actually pose a significant online security threat to your organization?
Three Cost-Savings Tips from Entrust
How to help reduce cost, yet maintain or enhance online security
It's no secret that today's economy is volatile. Budgets are tight. Spending is down. Consumers and enterprises alike are trying to save money. Unfortunately, organizations can't afford to sacrifice security solutions that help protect online channels, safeguard sensitive information and identities, and enable strong authentication. What they can do, however, is evaluate their spending and implement smarter security strategies.
To help, Entrust provides three cost-savings tactics to help ease budget pain.
Online Banking: The Growing Need for Customer Confidence
Education is key to keeping customers safe, secure online
According to a recent survey, the consistent need among all financial institutions is customer confidence. More than in any other industry, banking institutions require customer trust to survive — and this trust needs to be nurtured.
As online fraud continues to steer consumers away from the online channel, organizations like banks, investment firms and other financial institutions fight to counter this fear. How can these organizations properly educate their customers to help combat ever-growing phishing and man-in-the-middle fraud attacks?
Second-Generation ePassports on the Horizon
EAC ePassport interoperability tests identify 'flawless' vendor
Security concerns, developing technologies and emerging standards have led governments worldwide to pursue the issuance of more sophisticated machine-readable travel documents (MRTD) to their citizens. Commonly known as "ePassports," these documents contain a chip that stores information that can be verified against the data on the passport.
The second generation of this technology, Extended Access Control (EAC) ePassports are currently under development. As part of this initiative, leading governments and security vendors participated in the ePassports EAC Conformity & Interoperability Tests in Prague, Czech Republic, Sept. 7-12.
Which security vendors aced the tests? Which governments are leading the way for advanced border security? Find out more.
Best Practices: Entrust Extended Validation SSL Certificates
Is your organization's public-facing Web site protected by Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates?
Commonly referred to as EV SSL, these certificates have the highest impact on consumers, reassuring them that the site they are visiting is legitimate through visual cues in un-modifiable parts of the browser interface "chrome." For example, Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 7 (IE 7), Mozilla's Firefox 3 and Opera 9.5 display the corporate name with a green background for sites protected by an EV SSL certificate.
Entrust customers who wish to upgrade to EV SSL certificates can do so today, with minimal changes to their existing procedures.
Multifactor Authentication for Healthcare Facilities, Networks
Considerations for unique, specialized environments
The No. 1 goal for healthcare organizations is simple: patient care. However, information security — specifically user authentication — is also now a critical component of today's healthcare organizations.
Understandably, many healthcare technology decision-makers are leery of strong authentication solutions that are expensive, problematic to integrate and, most importantly, not well-received by physicians.
Which authentication solutions work best in healthcare environments? Which key benefits should be considered? Entrust has the answers.
