Hello! Is it time to install SSL certificate on your website!
Why do websites install SSL certificates?
With the rapid development of online business, enterprises and individuals increasingly obtain services through online channels. However, although the Internet is fast, it also has great security risks. More and more websites have installed SSL certificates. What hidden dangers will be caused if websites do not install SSL certificates?
Loss of visitors
In October 2017, Google Browser marked most HTTP pages as "unsafe", that is, if your website does not have an SSL certificate installed, when users visit your website, the browser will display an unsafe warning prompt. Just imagine, when users see such a prompt, will they continue to browse and conclude transactions with confidence. Therefore, the lack of SSL certificates has a great impact on the user's access experience and business transformation.
Data leakage brings losses to users
When the website is not installed with an SSL certificate, all the information and data that users visit the website are publicly exposed. Attackers can easily intercept these plaintext data and obtain important information, such as bank card numbers and passwords, which will cause losses to users' personal property and serious damage to the brand image of the enterprise.
Phishing websites cause loss to goodwill
Without an SSL certificate installed on the website, it is impossible to verify the authenticity of the website, so the emergence of phishing websites cannot be avoided. If a user is led to a phishing website that is very similar to the target website through careful setting, it is easy to cause personal information disclosure, or even money fraud. Although it seems that the loss of the user has no impact on the target website, it actually leaves an irreversible negative impression on the user, which seriously affects the reputation of the enterprise.
What's the use of SSL certificates?
1 Browser trust
Google and Firefox and other browsers mark danger warnings for HTTP websites. Installing ssl certificates can make websites trusted by browsers and remove unsafe warnings.
2 Improve search ranking
Both Google and Baidu have announced that HTTPS websites will be included first, and websites deploying ssl certificates will be displayed first.
3 Information security level protection
The third level or above of equal protection needs to install ssl certificates on websites or systems to ensure the security of confidential information.
4. Improve corporate image
After installing the ssl certificate, the website will display the browser trust mark, which will improve the customer trust and enhance the corporate image.
5 Address bar security lock
Security lock means that the current website communication uses secure links, which can be accessed with confidence.
6 Green address bar
The website where the advanced certificate is installed will make the browser address bar green.
7. Prevent web page tampering
Effectively prevent phishing pages and web page tampering, and prevent the implantation of bad content and fake websites.
How to select an SSL certificate
Generally, a simple distinction can be made according to the identity type of the applicant: individuals apply for DV type certificates, SMEs choose OV type certificates, and large enterprises and banks, finance, payment and other industries apply for EV type certificates.
If you don't know how to apply for a certificate in your own industry, you can also refer to the type of enterprise certificate application in the same industry.
From the perspective of identity authentication, OV and above can achieve good identity authentication function, representing the real identity of the operator behind the business. DV type obviously does not have identity authentication function.
From the perspective of security encryption technology, OV and above can achieve faster and more complex encryption protection.
If your business is very important to your enterprise, you should give priority to certificates of OV type or above to protect the safe operation of your business. Go back to Sohu to see more
