Importance of HTTPS Technology for Your Website’s Security & Credibility
If
you stay in the touch of internet frequently, you might be familiar
with the term SSL certificate and HTTPS. Webmasters, e-commerce
business owners and even general users take a website's security very
seriously nowadays since the cyber crimes have monstrously raised in
the recent years and the term 'data theft' doesn't sound alien.
As
more and more people purchase goods online, and the internet is
experiencing huge money transactions every day, the risk of a
security breach in relatively old and comparatively less secure
internet protocol (HTTP) is increasing. I have seen many development
firms including Joomla development companies in USA
suggesting
their clients opt for HTTPS certificate despite its being rather
expensive.
What
is HTTP, HTTPS, and SSL and How Do They Affect Website's Security?
HTTP
(Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is a protocol that helps establish a
connection between the client and server where the browser acting as
the client.
HTTP
has been in existence for years and thus, is more prone to security
breaches. HTTPS, also known as TLS, SSL, and HTTP secure has become
the norm of secure connection across the globe today, being the
better alternative to cliched HTTP protocols.
The
communications or file transfers via HTTPS are highly secure because
the messages get encrypted by Secure Socket Layer and thus,
man-in-the-middle (hackers) attacks become unuseful as
encrypted data is almost unextractable if you are lacking the key to
decrypt it.
Why
Do You Need HTTPS for Your Website?
Being
a Joomla development service,
a secure connection will save you from a slew of complications you
might face in future due to lack of security such as: Losing
customer's trust, being caught up in legal issues, and losing
valuable data and money. Moreover, it's after better to stay ahead of
your competitors who haven't planned to maximize their website's
security yet.
