<h2>What is an EV SSL Certificate?<br />
    </h2>
<p>Extended Validation or &quot;EV&quot; is the new standard developed and agreed upon by the major <br />
      Certificate Authorities (like GeoTrust&reg; and VeriSign&reg;) and the major browser vendors to authenticate and issue next-generation SSL certificates.</p>
<p>EV SSL certificates help protect your site from phishing scams and assure your customers that <br />
      they are dealing with a business or organization that has been thoroughly checked out using the New EV standard.</p>
