SSL Certificates and SSL Offload

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates protect the data and provide encryption for the information exchanged between a client’s browser and the server. AWS aids in this endeavor through the AWS Certificate Manager (ACM), a service designed to simplify the procurement, management, and deployment of SSL certificates for our AWS-based applications and resources. This ensures that the data remains encrypted and secure, adhering to best practices for cybersecurity.

With ACM, we can easily provision, manage, and deploy public and private SSL certificates for AWS services and our internally connected resources at no additional cost. ACM is integrated with services like Amazon CloudFront, Elastic Load Balancing (ELB), and Amazon API Gateway, allowing for a secure web experience.
