Cybersecurity is a top level concern among website owners because of ever increasing cyberattacks on websites which are vulnerable to online threats. In this digital age, each and every business has an online presence through a website but the owners often overlook the security aspect which tags along a live website. A hacker attacks a particular website when he wants total control of the website, finds and attacks a vulnerable website, to retrieve sensitive information, SEO attacks and many more. Websites are often compromised and if they are not kept safe then an attacker can misuse the same. A website breach can turn out to be a huge loss if an individual is running an e-commerce business or any other business for that matter.

Many a times we surf multiple websites and some of them do not have proper security which can lead to data leakage. It is critical to not submit any type of personal information on unprotected websites which can harm an individual due to weak security. For website owners it should be an upmost priority to ensure the safety of their website to prevent any kind of data theft because they hold customer’s important data and are responsible to keep it safe.

SSL Certificate is a type of technology which is installed on the web server and enables an encrypted communication between a web browser and a web server. When installed, it activates a green padlock which is visible in the address bar on a website and shows ‘https’ where the ‘S’ stands for secured which allows secure connections between the web server and the browser. Whenever a user visits the website, he is assured that he is on a safe website. When a website is secure, a user can transfer sensitive data and financial information without the need to worry about data theft. One can say that an SSL certificate is the backbone of a secure internet connection.
