SSL Client, Server, and Application Best Practices

On-Demand Webinar

For IT Pros and developers, SSL certificates are a necessary evil that most do not fully understand. In recent months we’ve seen vulnerabilities in SSL implementations such as Heartbleed problems for Lenovo with the Superfish software, as well as rouge SSL certificates for Google domains issued by a trusted intermediate CA. Apps published to popular app stores occasionally exhibit bad SSL behavior, accepting certificates without performing a revocation check or not using a certificate to actually secure the connection between the app and the service it interacts with.

In this seminar we’ll explore:

  • An overview of recent SSL related security events

  • What SSL can and cannot do

  • The composition of SSL certificates

  • The infrastructure required to support SSL certificates

  • How to check if an app is correctly using SSL
