Protect your visitors

Secure Socket Layer (SSL/TLS) is used to encrypt traffic between a website on a web server and a visitor from a browser. By encrypting the traffic it becomes impossible for unauthorized persons to intercept the traffic between your website and the visitor.

SSL is the standard in online security. It is used to encrypt data sent over the Internet between a client (your computer) and a server (a website's computer). This automatically prevents many types of attacks: if a hacker intercepts encrypted data, the hacker can't read it or use it without the private decryption key.

Robust Security Certificates

HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is an internet communication protocol that protects the integrity and confidentiality of data between the user's computer and the site. Users expect a secure and private online experience when using a website. We encourage you to adopt HTTPS in order to protect your users' connections to your website, regardless of the content on the site.

You must obtain a security certificate as a part of enabling HTTPS for your site. The certificate is issued by a certificate authority (CA), which takes steps to verify that your web address actually belongs to your organization, thus protecting your customers from man-in-the-middle attacks. When choosing your site certificate, keep in mind the following:

  • Decide the kind of certificate you need:
    • Single certificate for single secure origin (e.g. www.example.com).
    • Multi-domain certificate for multiple well-known secure origins (e.g. www.example.com, cdn.example.com, example.co.za).
    • Wildcard certificate for a secure origin with many dynamic subdomains (e.g. a.example.com, b.example.com, c.example.co.za).
    • Extended Validation (EV) Premium Certificate contains advanced features and premium encryption, Organization and country code will be listed for verification.

Frequently Asked Questions

If your site has forms that ask for even the most basic information, such as name, phone number, email address and home address, you should be using SSL. Any site with forms asking for user information should make sure their web forms are secure. Without an SSL certificate, these forms can be intercepted, easily.

If SSL has not been properly implemented, some content on a site may NOT covered by the encryption expected. So even though the browser is indicating a secure connection, some of the interactions may not be secure or encrypted at all. There are also potential exploits that can endanger this data exchange.

Let's answer this question right off the bat: it's unlikely. Though not impossible, the chances of an SSL certificate itself being hacked is incredibly slim. However, just because you have an SSL installed, that doesn't mean your website isn't vulnerable in other areas
