SSL/TLS provides encryption, authentication, and data integrity for internet communications. It's the technology behind HTTPS, securing web traffic, email, VPNs, and API communications. With TLS 1.3 as the current standard, modern encryption is faster and more secure than ever. Certificate management with Let's Encrypt has made HTTPS ubiquitous, but proper configuration and understanding remain critical skills for any developer or ops engineer.
