Encryption in Transit

What is Encryption in Transit?

Encryption in transit is the process of protecting data as it moves across a network, such as the internet or a private local area network. It prevents attackers from intercepting and reading sensitive information while it is being sent from a user’s browser to a web server.

Why It Matters

• It protects sensitive information like credit card numbers and login credentials from being captured by man-in-the-middle attacks.

• Using protocols like TLS ensures that the communication remains private and that the data has not been tampered with during delivery.

• It builds user confidence by showing that the business takes active steps to secure their data during every interaction.
