ESI-Appraise Helpful Hint

This week's topic is:

"What is TLS & how might it affect me?"

TLS is become a more common refrain among our online users. What is TLS?

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a foundational technology for online privacy. As a cryptographic protocol, Transport Layer Security encrypts data and authenticates connections when moving data over the internet via HTTP—an extension of the protocol known as HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure). When a user visits a website, their browser checks for a TLS certificate on the site. If one is present, their browser performs a TLS handshake to check its validity and authenticate the server. Once a link has been established between the two servers, TLS encryption and SSL decryption enable secure data transport.

Whichever version of TLS your organization requires, we can support it.
