Today's internet user is increasingly aware of unscrupulous practices by those wishing to steal their personal information. With the threat of identity theft and hacking, customers and businesses alike need to take precaution to keep their valuable information out of the wrong hands.
SSL Certificates are the primary way to secure websites online and offer a safe means to collect personal information and process credit cards. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) are protocols developed for transmitting private documents across the Internet. They use a cryptographic system that uses keys to protect data.
Websites use these protocols to obtain confidential user information, such as credit card numbers and personal demographic information. By convention, URLs that require a SSL or TLS connection start with "https:" instead of "http:" You've probably seen these in the address bar at the top of your browser, or more recently, the padlock icons to indicate you are on a secure site.
Protect your online interest with SSL encryption.
SSL Certificates not only protect the information being transferred from users to a website, but they also verify the site's owner and authenticity.
This verification is managed by a number of third party retailers, including Network Solutions, Verisign, Go-Daddy and Thawte. Each of these companies offer a variety of products to protect your site with the best solutions available.
Not all websites need to be encrypted, including sites that don't collect information or process payments. Ask us to review your site and make a recommendation on whether your site needs additional security. We can install the tools needed to secure your online investments.
