Most likely, your own site has adopted this safeguard. But should you feel completely secure? Not entirely. In truth, HTTPS connections can be vulnerable if they’re not properly configured. Ideally, the TLS protection they integrate should be robust. Here is more information\u2026<\/b>\n\nThe Internet became widely accessible to the public starting in 1995. The need to establish security standards<\/b> quickly became apparent.\n\nThis concern actually emerged almost 10 years earlier when the Internet<\/b> was mainly used by researchers and academics. In 1986, the U.S. government formed a standards organization\u2014which later became autonomous\u2014called the IETF or Internet Engineering Task Force<\/b>.\n\nIn 1999, recognizing the growing importance of the Web and the security risks it posed, the IETF developed a security protocol<\/a> named TLS \u2013 Transport Layer Security<\/b>. Its purpose: to encrypt communications<\/b> between two systems connected to the Internet. The most recent update (TLS 1.3) was released in 2018.\n\nIf you operate a website, it likely complies with the HTTPS standard<\/b>, which is built on the SSL encryption standard<\/a>. Can you assume your website is protected from every threat? Not necessarily.\n\n\nLearn about safety protocols\n<\/a>\n\n
