Security and privacy
are major concerns
for website users today.
In a recent study,
eighty-five percent
of users expressed
concern about the
security of the
Internet sites they
visit. Thousands of
incidents of online
fraud and theft are
reported each year
and many more go
unreported to save
the victim company
from losing customer
confidence. You can
prevent your site
from becoming a
target of such
crimes by using
common sense in
dealing with your
customers' private
information and by
implementing the
industry standard
security
technologies - SSL
Certificates.
SSL certificates,
allows a web browser
check the
credentials of the
web site it is
displaying to the
user. If a hacker
tried to redirect
the browser to his
own site,
impersonating your
site, the
certificate would
not match and the
browser would
display an error.
