Presentation Title: SSL Best Practices: Always-On SSL

Presentation Description: When it comes to securing your website, online business, or mail server from the things that go bump on the web, relying on a password and prayers just isn’t enough. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) serve as the backbone of internet security.

SSL and TLS secure millions of online transactions and confidential exchanges of information every day. But nearly 25% of SSL protected websites receive failing security grades, commonly suffering from weak and insecure cipher suites, incomplete certificate chains and more. It’s clear that website administrators and programmers often don’t have the right information, tools, or time to deploy SSL/TLS properly.
