Some older web browsers - like old versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer - don't support the strong encryption that's standard today. They rely on 40 bit encryption, rather than the more usual 128 or 256 bit.
Plenty of people choose to run older these older browsers. Perhaps they work for a company that prefers tried and tested software. Or maybe they just have an older PC. Either way, 40 bit encryption isn't secure. Powerful computers can crack the code in house, which could compromise sensitive data.
Many SSL certificates only offer one option. When they encounter an old browser, they switch to 40 bit encryption.
We're different. Our SSL certificates use a technology called SGC (it stands for server gated cryptography) to step the encryption level up to a minimum of 128 bit. That's enough to defeat the most determined online criminals and ensure the data stays safe.
In short, it means more visitors to your website can benefit from strong encryption in more browsers than ever. And it's standard with all Webfusion SSL certificates.
