SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer and is the standard security technology used to create an encrypted (or safe) link between a website and your browser (i.e. Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, etc…). This secured link ensures that the data/information that is sent from your browser to a website remains private; meaning safe from hackers or anyone trying to spy/steal that info. SSL is used by millions of websites to protect and secure any sensitive or private data that is sent through their website. Some of the most common uses of SSL are protecting a customer during an online transaction or form submission.
