The cybersecurity world is full of acronyms. They might seem scary, but they shouldn’t be. Especially not HTTPS as it’s the opposite of scary - it protects your online traffic from snoopers. You may not be aware of it, but there’s no doubt you use it every day. Read on to find out more about HTTPS. HTTPS stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure. It’s the secure version of the hypertext transfer protocol that underpins the web. In practice, HTTPS is what lets your browser talk to a website server in a private, authenticated way. When your browser connects to a website that uses HTTPS, the connection is wrapped in encryption through a technology called TLS (Transport Layer Security). This shields your requests and the website’s responses from anyone who might try to intercept or modify them as they travel across networks. Any website – especially those that require login credentials – should use HTTPS. Online banking portals, social networks, email services, online stores, cloud dashboards, and even small membership blogs all move confidential information. Without HTTPS, that information can leak in plain text. Modern browsers display a padlock icon and show “https://” before the domain name. If you see warnings about an insecure connection, expired SSL certificate, or plain “http://” in the URL, treat the site with caution.
