Some digital security measures are:

  1. Digital Security software like antivirus, antimalware, etc.
  2. Using SSL, HTTPS, etc. for web applications and websites.
  3. Enabling Mobile Device management
  4. Password management software and software for authenticating connections
  5. Using VPN's and Cloud services.

Using SSL certificates for websites is a must nowadays.

So what is SSL?

-> SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser(user basically. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browsers remain private and integral. SSL is the most widely used protocol for websites and web applications.

What is the benefit of using SSL?

-> SSL allows you to share confidential information like bank account details, passwords, etc securely. If we don't use SSL the data sent is just plain text which has a higher risk of getting misused.

How do you create an SSL connection?

-> To create an SSL connection you buy an SSL certificate from a certification authority such as SSL.com. Your web server will then create 2 keys one public and the other one as private.
