PROTECT YOUR WEBSITE BY USING AN SSL CERTIFICATE

Digital trust is a big issue in our society. In order to enhance the security of user data on the Internet, authorities such as: Comodo, GeoTrust, RapidSSL, Symantec, … have implemented security certificates. Customers and online shoppers more easily recognize a small padlock icon or web site address that begins with “https: // …” on the screen, indicating that they can trust the site they are visiting. they connect. This is SSL or “Secure Sockets Layer” in action. Google, which occupies more than 90% of search engine market share in Africa, requires it for any website and its browser Chrome explicitly writes “Unsafe”, when a website does not have SSL certificate.

A site that can prove that it takes safety seriously can attract more visitors. And this is very useful in the case of online transactions (i.e e-commerce site) or simply when there is collection of user data.

As you’ve probably understood, the main reason websites use an SSL certificate is the protection of sensitive information sent between computers and servers. If information such as credit card numbers, passwords, and other personal information is not encrypted, hackers will be able to interject and steal easily.
