SSL Certificate for Your Website with Adam Kirk.
What is an SSL Certificate and why does your website need one? Your website may be blocked by Google, Chrome and other browsers if you don’t have one. It’s important for your customers to find your website and feel confident that they are secure transacting on your site. An SSL Certificate provides a level of authentication that your site is valid and safe for visitors online. Adam explains SSL Certificates in terms that non-technical business owners can understand. It’s important that you understand why you need one, and be able to determine if your website already has one or not, and then take action to either have your technical staff or a service provider like Oostas help you with implementing your SSL Certificate.
An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is a digital certificate that authenticates the identity of a website and encrypts information sent to the server using SSL technology. Encryption is the process of scrambling data into an undecipherable format that can only be returned to a readable format with the proper decryption key and thereby keeping it safer while being transmitted online.
