Standard SSL certificates are offered at prices much lower than premium or extended validation (EV) SSL certificates, however, they provide the lowest level of validation available from commercial certificate authorities.

The highest-ranking and most expensive SSL certificate type is an Extended Validation Certificate. This type of SSL certificate, when installed, displays the padlock, HTTPS, name of the business, and the country on the browser address bar. Displaying the website owner's information in the address bar helps distinguish the site from malicious sites. Setting up the EV SSL certificate requires the website owner to go through a standardized identity verification process to confirm they are authorized legally to the exclusive rights to the domain. EV SSL certificates are for high profile websites for applications that require identity assurance such as collecting data, processing logins, or online payments.

A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is an attack in which multiple compromised computer systems attack a target, such as a server, website or other network resource, and cause a denial of service for users of the targeted resource. By using dedicated network equipment and a powerful cloud-based protection service, Hidbrain can protect all websites against any incoming threat.

Hidbrain continuously monitors server logs for signs of attack and flags detected events that indicate compromise. Special tools are used for detection, in real-time, of changes to scripts and for controlling who can access the application servers.
