In this guest blog, Dr. Michael Mathews of CynergisTek explains the Heartbleed bug. It is a vulnerability in OpenSSL, the open source software that provides for encryption of data in transit between two points across a network, and estimated to impact up to two-thirds of the Internet. Mathews says any business offering services to its clients that make use of OpenSSL must remediate its servers/services to protect its consumers’ data privacy and confidentiality.
