Founder and chairman of ArabicSSL™ and The Multilingual Internet Group Mr. Khaled Fattal said on this occasion: "This is a milestone for the Arabic Internet by turning it into a secure Arabic Internet to subsequently enable and implement a vast array of Pan Arab e-commerce and e-payment solutions. Despite the recent boom in users in the Arabic Internet and with the highest rate of Internet penetration growth in the world being in the Middle East, the majority local Internet users still lack the confidence to perform financial and other sensitive transactions online locally or internationally."

Mr. Fattal later added: "The primary reasons had been that virtually all local websites in the Arabic market are not securely certified with a valid SSL Certificate, let alone a localized one. Add to that the lack of awareness of the security risks to users and website owners from websites that are without valid SSLs, until now. With the launch of ArabicSSL™ Certificates, this is about to change dramatically. ArabicSSL™ Certificate is the localized yet internationally recognized solution in removing these barriers to igniting a localized but Secure Pan Arab Internet en route to a booming Arabic e-commerce market".
