ADL Adds SSL Encryption to Website

To Improve Website Security ADL Adds SSL Encryption

ADL has added SSL Certificates to our website to enhance the security of the website and the download material.

Why SSL Certificate? SSL is the standard used to secure the Internet and it protects sensitive information as it travels across the world. It keeps the Internet from being ruled by anarchists and criminals and provides many direct benefits to our clients.

Benefits of SSL: Encrypt Sensitive Information

The primary reason SSL certificates are used, is to keep sensitive information sent across the Internet encrypted so that only the computer of the intended recipient can understand the messages/data. This is important because the information sent via the Internet is passed from computer to computer to get to the destination server. Any computer in between you and the sending server can see your credit card numbers, usernames and passwords, and other sensitive information, if it is not encrypted with an SSL certificate.

When an SSL certificate is used, the information becomes unreadable to everyone except for the server sending the information and the recipient that requested the information. This protects the data from hackers and identity thieves.

ADL Upgrades to Windows 10

ADL has upgraded all of our development and office PCs to Windows 10. This is to provide better HIPAA security and to support major ADL software releases and advanced features/functionality. We will continue supporting the older version of Windows, however, we are recommending that all the clients upgrade to Windows 10.

This version of Windows will provide for greater security and authentication features. Catana voice, a feature of Windows 10, will enable the users to control and run applications using their voice. The new operating system provides seamless connections between the PC, Portable devices, and Smart Phones.

The Windows 10 upgrades are free until July 2016 for all licensed users of Windows. And what will Windows 10 cost you if the miss the free upgrade window or you’re running XP or Vista? On Monday, Microsoft revealed the various prices. Windows Home will retail for $119. Windows 10 Pro will sell for price of $199. And the Windows 10 Pro Pack, which lets you upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro, will cost you $99.
