CODE SIGNING
More Security, Less Threat
Protect your Software code and Application from cyber criminals
REQUEST A CALL BACKStandard Code Signing Certificates are used by software developers to digitally sign applications, drivers, executables, and software programs for end-users. Our certificates verify that the signed software is legitimate, comes from a known software vendor, and that the code has not been tampered with, since published. They include your signature, your company’s name, and if desired, a timestamp.
On the other hand, Extended Validation (EV) Code Signing Certificates retain all the benefits of standard code signing certificate and add a stringent vetting process and hardware protection requirement, so your users can easily trust in the integrity of your applications. It provides an immediate reputation with Microsoft SmartScreen Filter and removes scary warning messages that the application might show to end-users. GlobalSign allows standard, and EV Code Signing Certificates to be installed on customer HSMs or in Azure Key Vault and adds an essential layer of trust to the installation process.
