VeriSign, Inc., the Internet infrastructure services provider for the networked world, has entered into a partnership with Sri Lanka’s premier technology solutions provider, Millennium Information Technologies Ltd (MillenniumIT). The Partnership is aimed at providing comprehensive businesses in Sri Lanka and secure e-commerce solutions. Under the terms of the agreement, MillenniumIT will provide customers across Sri Lanka with VeriSign Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates to help protect e-commerce interactions online.
The partnership makes MillenniumIT the first authorised Sri Lankan reseller partner of VeriSign SSL Certificates. The partnership will also significantly reduce the cost of purchasing SSL Certificates for businesses in Sri Lanka. The accessibility of VeriSign SSL Certificates directly within the country will also make it easier for Sri Lankan companies to provide the highest standard of online security for their local and foreign clientele.
"With the growing Internet penetration in Sri Lanka, there is a growing need for a secure Web environment where users can feel assured their online transactions are safe,” said Dr. Shekhar Kirani, Country Manager, VeriSign India. “The partnership with MillenniumIT will help establish this higher degree of trust by providing a safer online experience. We are pleased to join hands with a reseller partner who shares our security vision and has the capability to deliver effectively to the market.”
VeriSign has recently achieved the milestone of issuing more than 4 million SSL Certificates to businesses globally. The company has deployed more than 12,000 EV SSL Certificates, making VeriSign the market leader with a 74 percent share of the EV SSL market.
