Here at DigitalSociety.org, we believe that cyber security should be everyone’s priority. So what better way to prove our sincerity by eating our own dog food and implementing Secure Socket Layer (SSL) security on our own website. Digitalsociety.org does not use unencrypted communication protocols such as standard Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and we use encrypted HTTPS and Secure Shell FTP (SFTP) for all sensitive communications.
