Encryption Everywhere

It is obvious that Symantec has become synonymous with trust online. As it is one of the most well known and largest certification authorities in the world. Secure website certification has been a tedious, complicated and expensive task for far too long. As online threats increase along with demand in performance and search engine optimization, free and easy SSL is inevitable.

Symantec has been long planning for the right time to come out and has done so with style on it’s 256-bit Free SSL HTTPS certs. Although they are still lagging behind the more “unconventional” Let’s Encrypt movement, they are still in time to make it big with a different approach. They are teaming up with other online certificate providers and web hosting companies to create a match made in heaven.

As to how the ‘Encryption Everywhere’ movement will be received is largely dependent on new partnerships. We will continue to follow the progress and report updates on this page — last updated 2024.
