The State of HTTPS: the importance of securing all web traffic

This presentation covers what HTTPS does and does not protect against, reviews some of the more egregious misuses of HTTP, rebuts the commons objections to implementing HTTPS, and then advances numerous compelling reasons to use HTTPS that should convince anyone still on the fence. An abundance of links to technical resources, client-side tools, and relevant influential writings is also provided.

About Chris Reynolds

I am a Developer Advocate at Pantheon and have been working with WordPress since my first foray as a freelance web designer and developer specializing in 2007. Since then, I've worked with Event Espresso, WebDevStudios, Human Made and Altis and I wrote of a bunch of WordPress-centric online training courses for Pluralsight. When I'm not writing code (or, these days, blog posts, GitHub actions, or videos), I run and play Dungeons & Dragons, occasionally make electronic music and cheer for Utah Royals FC.
