Symantec, the provider of Norton security products, has been in the software and technology business for nearly 30 years and has grown into one of the largest software companies in the world.  They have drawn upon their decades of experience and talent to create one of the best-performing security suites. They have passed all recent third-party tests, and AV-Comparatives awarded Norton a score of 99.3%, which was the best score of any product in the July 2011 whole product tests.  Ship Watchers has Norton™ protect our network, servers and employee equipment. 

Ship Watchers' web servers and web browsers rely on the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol to create a uniquely encrypted channel for private communications over the public Internet. Each SSL Certificate consists of a public key and a private key. The public key is used to encrypt information and the private key is used to decipher it. When a Web browser points to a secured domain, a level of encryption is established based on the type of SSL Certificate as well as the client Web browser, operating system and host server’s capabilities. That is why SSL Certificates feature a range of encryption levels such as "up to 256-bit".

Strong encryption, at 128 bits, can calculate 2⁸⁸ times as many combinations as 40-bit encryption. That's over a trillion times a trillion times stronger. At current computing speeds, a hacker with the time, tools, and motivation to attack using brute force would require a trillion years to break into a session protected by an SGC-enabled certificate. To enable strong encryption for the most site visitors, choose an SSL Certificate that enables at least 128-bit encryption for 99.9% of Web site visitors.
