Janmedia Interactive Partners with GlobalSign to Provide Code Signing and SSL Solutions

Leading international digital agency to offer cost effective digital security certificates to customers

September 23, 2009; 03:36 AM

London, UK – 22 September, 2009 – GlobalSign Ltd. (www.globalsign.co.uk), one of the longest established Certification Authorities (CA) and specialists in Digital Certificate security, today announced that Janmedia Interactive (www.janmedia.pl), a leading international full service digital agency, will be promoting GlobalSign’s Code Signing Certificates and SSL Certificates via their websites www.airtrust.pl, and www.hosting360.pl, serving Poland and its surrounding regions.  The newly formed partnership will allow customers to easily purchase and install GlobalSign’s Code Signing Certificates to securely distribute Adobe AIR applications, as well as SSL Certificates to secure websites, login pages and other next generation online services.

GlobalSign’s Code Signing solution allows software vendors to digitally sign and timestamp the software they distribute over the Internet. This digital signing process is the virtual equivalent to shrink-wrapping CD based software for distribution – it ensures the end user knows the software is legitimate, comes from a known software vendor and the code has not been tampered with since being published.  Code Signing certificates provide software vendors with the ability to attest to the authenticity, security and integrity of their code.  Janmedia Interactive will be providing Code Signing solutions for all applications including Adobe AIR.  Adobe AIR enables developers to deliver branded rich Internet applications outside the browser that gives them a closer connection to their customers - boosting productivity, enhancing customer satisfaction and increasing profits.

As a leading full service agency, Janmedia Interactive chose GlobalSign over other Code Signing vendors, with costs, support and credibility being the most important factors. Janmedia switched from another leading digital certificate provider to benefit from GlobalSign’s feature rich SSL Certificate range.  Overall, GlobalSign’s cost effective and future proof security solutions provided by Europe’s first CA, ensured a win-win scenario for both organisations.  Janmedia will be offering Domain Validated SSL Certificates for fast issuance, as well as the more traditional type of Certificate known as Organisation Validation SSL.

"We decided to partner with GlobalSign, Europe’s longest serving Certificate Authority, as it offers the most trusted and cost effective Code Signing and SSL security options currently available in the digital certificate market," says Alicja Baran, Hosting Director, Janmedia.  "GlobalSign’s digital certificates compliment our existing product portfolio and we are looking forward to supplying our global customer base with these exciting new security solutions.”

“With security concerns on the increase, more and more companies are looking to offer their current customers additional security solutions”, said Paul Tourret, Managing Director, GlobalSign Ltd.   “We would like to welcome Janmedia on board as our latest Code Signing and SSL partner and we look forward to a long and mutually beneficial partnership with this leading digital agency.”

GlobalSign Code Signing Certificates for AdobeAIR are immediately available from Janmedia at www.airtrust.pl and SSL Certificates at www.hosting360.pl.
