Tags:
security management

Overview Founded in 1996, Actinic Software Ltd is a specialist developer and provider of ecommerce products for small to medium sized businesses and a leading supplier of Electronic Point Of Sale (EPOS) and multi-channel retail technology. With the increase of e-commerce, organisations and customers alike are faced with ever increasing security threats, for example, phishing attacks, and credit card fraud and identity theft. SSL is an essential operational security requirement for Actinic and all organisations offering Internet based services. When a website is using a traditional SSL certificate, a padlock symbol is displayed in the address bar to alert users of the presence of SSL - indicating the site is enabled to carry out secure transactions.
