GUNPAL.net partners with VeriSign for the highest level of EV SSL Website Security.

Online, December 12, 2009 (Newswire.com) - GUNPAL.net, the payment processing platform of choice for the firearms and accessories industry, is rolling out EV SSL security certificates from VeriSign to help prevent Phishing attacks and ID theft amongst customers. EV SSL is popular among financial sites for the added layer of security it offers.

GUNPAL.net will join the ranks of other sites offering the ultimate in online security including Bank Of America, Charles Schwab, and HSBC Bank, the largest banking group in the world.

"As e-criminals grow more sophisticated, financial services leaders like GUNPAL.net must always remain a step ahead to ensure the security and trust of our customers," said Ben Cannon, CEO.

"Deploying VeriSign Extended Validation SSL Certificates will allow us to send an instantly recognizable signal to our customers, confirming that any personal information they supply on that page will go directly to GUNPAL.net and no one else."

An EV SSL Certificate will display easily understood visual cues in enabled high-security browsers to provide tangible assurance of a site's authenticity. The address bar turns green, a lock icon appears next to the address, and a new field appears to the right of the URL in the high-security browser. This field will contain the name of the organization that owns the site (in this case GUNPAL, Inc) as well as the security provider that issued the certificate (VeriSign).

The cost of the EV SSL cert is expensive, and the verification procedures extensive says Cannon, "The price is worth it - I know when I see the green bar that I am using the real GUNPAL.net, and that's priceless."
