The State of HTTPS: the importance of securing all web traffic

This presentation covers what HTTPS does and does not protect against, reviews some of the more egregious misuses of HTTP, rebuts the commons objections to implementing HTTPS, and then advances numerous compelling reasons to use HTTPS that should convince anyone still on the fence. An abundance of links to technical resources, client-side tools, and relevant influential writings is also provided.
