Online security is rightfully at the forefront of Google in 2018 and they have placed priority on website’s officially certifying their server security with Transport Layer Security also referred to as Secure Socket Layer (SSL). Starting this year, Google will be giving preference to websites that are officially certified as secure with an SSL Certificate. Sites that are not marked secure with an SSL may be flagged in search results as “unsafe”.
There are 5 main reasons that your website should have an SSL Certificate:
- It provides trust to your website’s visitors with the knowledge that your organization has their online security in their best interest.
- All interaction between the client’s server and the end-user has SHA-2 and 2048-bit encryption – the strongest and most secure on the market.
- SSL provides privacy and integrity of data being transmitted between the client and end-user.
- Message integrity is checked by utilizing reciprocating authentication code.
- Google improved credibility guidelines are met and your SEO is in greater compliance.
