Online security firm VeriSign has launched an online security clinic, that gives a chance to small businesses to consult VeriSign experts on how to improve customer trust and increase sales.
Businesses can submit questions via email that will be answered directly and posted on VeriSign’s ‘small business page’ so that the other businesses can also learn from peers.
Advice is available on a variety of issues, ranging from online security to specific technical questions on tools and technologies such as malware, Extended Validation SSL and strong authentication, according to VeriSign.
Martin Mackay, vice president and general manager for VeriSign EMEA, said: "When shopping online, many consumers automatically start with the big e-commerce portals. With £4.4bn spent online by UK consumers in April 2010 alone, SMB owners have a big opportunity to increase their share of these e-retail profits.
"The VeriSign SMB Internet Security Clinic gives those responsible for e-commerce reassurance that their sites will be secure, ideas on how to promote this to buyers and unrivalled access to VeriSign’s team of experts for advice."
