SSL Certificate Reasons
Why is a SSL Certificate needed?
It is important that any website that transfers from a web page or stores sensitive information like credit card numbers, social security numbers, personal information about other people like names and addresses, Identity Numbers, Passwords etc or sensitive company information needs an SSL Certificate. The information should only be acquired from the individual via a secure connection. The SSL Certificate will provide a secure connection. It is important to protect your website from fraud, but it is essential to protect your customers from fraud as well.
Data transmitted over the internet as plain text can be seen and intercepted and a person with malicious intentions will see what is transmitted. So you need to scramble the text using a SSL Certificate.
