We hope your 2017 is off to a great start, we cannot believe we're in the second quarter already! Hopefully you've enjoyed your recent Spring Holidays and are ready for the warming weather. We'd like to grab your attention for just a few minutes to share some news about developments that will affect your website now and in the months to come.
What is SSL?
Sounds Geeky!
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates provide security for online transmissions by encrypting the data as it passes through the Internet. Check out our Q&A below:
SSL Certificate Q&A:
Q: I don't process money transactions. Why do I need one? A: Installing a certificate lets your members or clients know that you respect their right to privacy and are taking action to protect their data that has been entrusted to you.
Q: I'm still not convinced. What happens if I don't get one? A: Besides putting your client's data at risk, the search engines, as led by Google, are not only ranking secured sites higher in their listings but they are also planning to roll out notifications of unsecured sites -- displaying Secure or Not Secure in the URL field of the browser window.
Q: Okay I'm convinced. How do I get an SSL certificate? A: Submit a ticket to our team to ask about your options. (And while you're there, check out our pretty 'Secure' notation!)
We’re building a Code Library for you! Our developer community continues to share knowledge with each other by contributing their code snippets to the Tendenci Read the Docs project.
