About this listen

Safe browsing is a critical topic in the CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) certification exam, and this episode shows you how to verify website certificates, identify secure connections, and recognize invalid or suspicious certificates. We’ll explain how HTTPS works, the role of certificate authorities, and why expired or mismatched certificates are red flags.

We’ll also discuss phishing websites and other malicious online traps, giving you practical steps for assessing website legitimacy before entering sensitive information. These skills will help you in both exam scenarios and real-world security practices. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
