From my experience (getting SSL certs from carriers like Verisign), design the certs from the child domain. So, a SSL cert for <a href="http://www.ourdomain.com" rel="ugc">http://www.ourdomain.com</a>&nbsp;is DIFFERENT than a SSL cert for <a href="http://ourdomain.com" rel="ugc">http://ourdomain.com</a><br />
If the SSL cert is for <a href="http://www.ourdomain.com" rel="ugc">http://www.ourdomain.com</a>&nbsp;and you go to <a href="http://ourdomain.com" rel="ugc">http://ourdomain.com</a>, then you will get a SSL error. The cert is for <a href="http://www.ourdomain.com" rel="ugc">http://www.ourdomain.com</a>, and has that FQDN defined in it. <br />
If you just go to <a href="http://ourdomain.com" rel="ugc">http://ourdomain.com</a>, then the SSL cert for <a href="http://www.ourdomain.com" rel="ugc">http://www.ourdomain.com</a>&nbsp;since that is, technically, a CHILD domain.<br />
<br />
So, AFAIU, you need a SSL cert for <a href="https://www.ourdomain.com" rel="ugc">https://www.ourdomain.com</a>&nbsp;to avoid SSL cert errors.<br />

From my experience (getting SSL certs from carriers like Verisign), design the certs from the child domain. So, a SSL cert for http://www.ourdomain.com [http://www.ourdomain.com] is DIFFERENT than a SSL cert for http://ourdomain.com [http://ourdomain.com]
If the SSL cert is for http://www.ourdomain.com [http://www.ourdomain.com] and you go to http://ourdomain.com [http://ourdomain.com], then you will get a SSL error. The cert is for http://www.ourdomain.com [http://www.ourdomain.com], and has that FQDN defined in it.
If you just go to http://ourdomain.com [http://ourdomain.com], then the SSL cert for http://www.ourdomain.com [http://www.ourdomain.com] since that is, technically, a CHILD domain.

So, AFAIU, you need a SSL cert for https://www.ourdomain.com [https://www.ourdomain.com] to avoid SSL cert errors.

Our domain www.ourdomain.com has a security certificate registered to www.ourdomain.com.  Many of our customers just type in https://ourdomain.com.  When that happens they get a security message and many customers fall off at that point.  Do we need to get a new security certificate that references just ourdomain.com or is the another work around?

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.

OS Security

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.
