SSL/TLS Certificate
An SSL/TLS certificate is a digital credential that enables encrypted HTTPS connections and proves a site owns its domain.
When a browser connects over HTTPS, the server presents its TLS certificate. If it is valid and trusted, the connection is encrypted and the padlock appears. If it is expired, misconfigured, or issued for the wrong domain, browsers show a security warning that blocks users.
Because certificates expire (often every 90 days), monitoring their validity and expiry prevents the classic, avoidable outage of a lapsed certificate.
