SSL Certificates 101

Have you been browsing online and recently noticed in your address bar that the words "secure" or "not secure" pop up before displaying the URL for the site you're visiting? That is due to the new widespread implementation of SSL certificates.  

"Whether you are an individual or a company, you should approach online security in the same way that you would approach physical security for your home or business. Not only does it make you feel safer but it also protects people who visit your home, place of business, or website. It is important to understand the potential risks and then make sure you are fully protected against them. In the fast-paced world of technology, it is not always easy to stay abreast of the latest advancements. For this reason it is wise to partner with a reputable Internet security company." (Symantec)

So what exactly is an SSL Certificate? "An SSL certificate is a digital computer file (or small piece of code) that has two specific functions:

1. Authentication and Verification: The SSL certificate has information about
the authenticity of certain details regarding the identity of a person, business or
website, which it will display to visitors on your website when they click on the
browser’s padlock symbol or trust mark (e.g., the Norton™ Secured Seal).

2. Data Encryption: The SSL certificate also enables encryption, which means that
the sensitive information exchanged via the website cannot be intercepted and
read by anyone other than the intended recipient. "

Here at MLE we work hard to stay up-to-date on all of the latest not only for our website clients but for our Search Engine Marketing clients as well. To learn more about SSL certificates and whether you might need one, visit this informational PDF from Symantec at: https://www.websecurity.symantec.com/content/dam/websitesecurity/digitalassets/desktop/pdfs/whitepaper/beginners-guide-to-SSL-certificates_WP.pdf

Working Students Wanted!

MLE Clients are in the market for working students! If you are thinking about becoming a working student or have always wanted a position at a barn, take a look at the ads below!

Courtney Cooper, C Square Farm
Courtney Cooper and the C Square Farm team are back in Pennsylvania after enjoying a very successful winter season in Aiken and we are looking forward to competing extensively in Area II. We are looking to add another working student (or two!) to our program. Preference is given to individuals wanting to stay for a minimum of 6 months who are looking for a rigorous, educationally geared apprenticeship.

Our working students learn about training, sales, horsemanship, and breeding, and they also get plenty of opportunities to compete and ride themselves. Our winter working students brought home several blue ribbons of their own, (one is actually 3rd in the country on a horse C Square Farm lent to her) in addition to attending top events such as Carolina International.

We value our working students and treat them as members of our team with regular lessons, regular riding, days off, board for their horse and housing in a new, beautiful, and safe apartment complete with WIFI.

In addition to the benefits listed above we also do team dinners, and have our working students watch lessons with Courtney and top pros, including Boyd and Silva Martin and Richard Picken. We also strive to teach our working students life lessons; such as goal setting and planning for their future and are happy to stay involved with them individually after leaving our program.

If you are interested in joining this enthusiastic working student program, email your resume and riding video to csquarefarm@gmail.com.
