CHICAGO (July 19, 2010) -Trustwave, a leading Certification Authority (CA) and top 10 global issuer of SSL certificates and online identities, has released its SSL Control Center version 2.0, which facilitates the purchase, renewal and management of digital certificates.

Trustwave's new SSL Control Center offers enterprise-class features, rich management tools and products with easy-to-understand pricing options. The platform contains more than 40 new features, many of which are designed to make it easier for partners to integrate, report and manage the digital certificate lifecycle and, therefore, more profitable at selling Trustwave identity and compliance solutions.

New features of this release include:

• Powerful Partner Management Portal: Provides easy-to-use, role-based access for management of pricing, orders, refunds and products offered by the partner. Also provides enhanced reporting and notification.
• Trustwave QuickCart®: A simple, one-click enabled, Partner-branded shopping cart for Trustwave resellers complete with up-sell management and tailored towards SSL e-commerce to make it easy for customers to purchase. The Trustwave-hosted shopping cart reduces the partner's PCI DSS compliance scope and reduces partner credit card transaction fees.
