"Also, our secure server software (SSL) is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions."
Hey! What the heck? I'm in the security industry and had no idea about this new "secure server software" and why is the TLA SSL? What the heck? I've been on vacation for the last week, when did it hit?
On a serious note, I understand that some security teams hire non-technical types into the team but it's always the responsibility of senior staff to make sure they are at least understanding the basics, especially when communicating with customers. Say it with me: Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). There's a credibility problem here somewhere.

They're just stating they have software to help secure things, and as an side it's called SSL. They mention SSL because some users may have heard of this and it signals that Amazon's doing the right thing.
