Digital pirates or hackers are more common than we think. Four out of ten users will have been victims of credit card theft or identity theft fraud, and the other six users who have not suffered these digital abuses have heard stories and accounts from acquaintances who have had the bad luck of suffering a digital hack. This is where SSL certificates come in!
What are SSL or Security Certificates?
A security certificate protects the confidentiality of data transmitted over the network, thus preventing the public exposure of this information for possible fraudulent uses.
They are a measure of trust for the user who visits your online website when making transactions in your e-commerce. Security certificates on a website allow data to be encrypted between the client's computer and the server in question that represents the page.

Why get a security certificate for your website?
With a digital security certificate, we ensure that personal data is encrypted, making it impossible for it to be intercepted by a hacker or another user who accidentally stumbles upon said information on the network.
It is becoming more and more common to see the SSL protocol activated in our browsers, the https security protocol; this security encryption wants to tell us that the information we send over the network from the website we are on is encrypted, making it almost impossible to track or modify. This information becomes confidential between the client's browser and the server of the page in question. Those websites that already have a security certificate offer greater security to users who browse their website.
Using the security certificate in transactions
If your website manages digital financial transfers and you do not have a security certificate, you are compromising the confidentiality of your clients and exposing your users' data. If you accept credit card information in a database that is loaded on your website, it is necessary, irrevocably, to obtain an SSL certificate to protect the data stored on the server.
Where is data recorded on the network?
We must not only observe economic transactions, we must also monitor a series of other actions that we carry out daily on the Internet.
- In credit card transactions, web traffic.
- Other types of web traffic: Access pages, web forms, webmail, control panels, web page protection, etc.
- Intranets and extranets: in the case of internal networks or connections to databases, respectively.
- In connections between email clients and email servers.
- In file transfers over https and FTP services, such as an update by the owner of a website.
Advantages of obtaining an SSL certificate
The SSL certificate is sent by the server of the secure website. The web browser receives and interprets the certificate and verifies its authenticity, confirming that a secure connection is being made.
Most web browsers display this connection using a closed padlock icon that can be seen next to the browser.
- Verifies the authenticity of a website and ensures the security of the connection between the website and the web browser.
- Data transmitted over the network during the secure connection is encrypted.
- The information sent is encrypted through the secure connection, which closes the door to potential digital hackers trying to read the user's personal data.
