GOOGLE WILL TURN BUSINESS AWAY FROM FASTENER DISTRIBUTOR SITES Come July, Google Chrome will start turning business away from your Web site if it deems your site to be unencrypted. “Google is rolling it out to all versions of Chrome this summer,” says Peter Boyd, founder, PaperStreet, a Web design firm (www.paperstreet.com). Specifically, Google Chrome will brand your Web site as ‘Not Secure’ in the address bar of its browser if it senses you’re operating without encryption (https://security.googleblog. com/2018/02/a-secure-web-ishere-to-stay.html). “Users presented with this warning will be less likely to interact with these sites or trust their content, so it’s imperative that site operators,” get their Web sites encrypted,” says Patrick R. Donahue, security engineering product lead, Cloudflare (www. cloudflare.com), a Web services provider. Moreover, this move by Google to police the Web will be replicated by Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge and Apple Sarfari sometime after July, according to Donahue. Given that those browsers together service more than 90% of all the people surfing the Web, according to Netmarketshare (www.netmarketshare.com), it’s no surprise that the ‘Not Secure’ branding campaign is HACKERS HAVE TRIGGERED BROWSER MAKERS TO DEMAND ENCRYPTION FOR ALL SITES ACROSS THE WEB. (THIS IMAGE IS ROYALTY FREE AND APPROVED FOR COMMERCIAL USE, AS ARE ALL THE OTHERS FOR THIS ARTICLE.) COME JULY, GOOGLE CEO SUNDAR PICHAI WILL BE BRANDING YOUR WEB SITE AS ‘NOT SECURE’ IF IT’S WITHOUT ENCRYPTION. expected to trigger a stampede of fastener distributors desperately looking for encryption come July. The easiest way for fastener distributors to determine their business will be impacted is to type the Web address of their Web sites into the Google Chrome browser come July. If your Web site is lacking encryption, you’ll find a warning from Google in the address bar stating that your Web site is ‘Not Secure.’ Indeed, even now, Google is posting more subtle warning notes in its browser about many Web sites that operate with encryption. Essentially, the warning appears as an exclamation symbol in the address bar, which you need to click on to retrieve Google’s admonition that the site is not secure. In contrast, the search giant has decided that come July, its warning will be stark and dramatic. Visit any fastener distributor site that’s not encrypted and that site will be branded with the words ‘Not Secure’ right in the Goggle Chrome address bar -- no clicking necessary. “Google has been gearing up for this change since 2014,” Donahue says. For years, the campaign to encrypt Web sites has been mostly limited to ecommerce Web sites, where shoppers enter credit card and other highly sensitive information that hackers are looking to steal.
