The SSL security certificate is the protocol by which browsers and servers allow secure connections on the Internet. Access to encrypt, decrypt and authenticate the information that is sent over the internet. This standard process will allow us to maintain a secure connection and will ensure the security of everything we transfer including personal information. Information exchange systems can be both from server to client (online purchases) and from server to server (applications with personal information)
All data sent between users and web pages or between servers will be impossible to examine. The algorithms you use to encrypt and encode your data is what makes accessing it impossible. And with data we refer to all that we can imagine and that are of a personal nature; bank details, addresses, names, card numbers, etc … The main advantage is that it secures our website against possible computer attacks.
Reasons to install the SSL security certificate
- Our information will be completely protected allowing us to exchange it with complete peace of mind. Its encryption will make it practically impossible for someone to access said information, therefore they will not be able to intercept or steal the data.
- When a company has its website configured using an SSL security certificate, we will see a green padlock in the address bar. That green padlock tells us that the connection that is being offered to us is secure. This certificate will give professionalism to the brand and our clients will feel protected.
- In addition to the strategies we use to optimize our page, having an SSL security certificate will improve our web positioning. The search engine has the ability to detect web pages that have an SSL installed and rewards them by improving their web positioning.
