One of the easiest, yet most effective, methods of upping your web security against data stealing involves using SSL certificates, or secure socket layer certificates. An SSL certificate encrypts data moving between the host, such as the web server or the firewall, and the web browser. Any information sent over these points can no longer be nabbed by a third party. 

Without an SSL certificate, someone filling in a form could intercept the information in what’s termed a “man-in-the-middle attack.” If that form contained financial details, it could mean big trouble for your business.

SSL certificates are similar to public key infrastructure, yet also different. PKI refers to the public key infrastructure in total sum. For example, web servers take advantage of SSL, which happens to use PKI. It can get confusing. Good thing you can take control of your keys with one simple approach.

Business analytics is a complicated field, both due to its naturally complex subject matter, but more so because the landscape of global industry has been through some major changes over the past few years in particular. The way that we gather and analyse data has seen some immense evolutions over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic and as such, business analysts have had to amend their data analytics practices in order to better understand the extent to which the pandemic has affected either their own business or the enterprises of their clients.

Of course, for emerging business analysts, the ability to even identify what amendments or adaptations need to be made may not come so easily, nor would the ability to actually facilitate those adaptations. So what’s there to do? Mentorship has been the most effective teaching tool for many emerging business analytics professionals.
