Thawte recommends using SSL web server certificates with Extended Validation (EV) for handling sensitive data and e-commerce transactions. It warns against using a single wildcard certificate across multiple subdomains due to security risks associated with potential compromises. Thawte emphasizes the importance of layered defense against threats and highlights their long-standing reputation in providing reliable digital certificates.

4. Instead, Thawte recommends SSL Web Server
Certificates with EV for pages involving
passwords, Personally Identifiable Information
(PII), and eCommerce fixtures such as shopping
carts, checkout, and payment.
Deploying the same wildcard certificate
across multiple subdomains and servers
carries inherent risk: if one server or
subdomain is compromised, all subdomains
can be equally compromised. Ensure that
your environment is protected with multiple
layers of defense from all external and
internal threats.
