TLS Migration: A Priority for Your Company’s Security

Did you know that 27.9% of websites still use TLS 1.0? This protocol, launched 25 years ago, is both vulnerable and outdated. In this article, we’ll explore why TLS migration to TLS 1.2 or higher is crucial for your business and how it can safeguard your data while boosting customer trust.

 

The Urgency of TLS Migration

TLS 1.0 and 1.1 have been officially deprecated since 2018. Yet, many companies haven’t completed. Why is this an issue? These outdated protocols are vulnerable to attacks that can compromise the security of your information and your customers’ data.

 

Benefits of TLS 1.2 and 1.3

1. Enhanced Security: TLS 1.2 and 1.3 offer stronger encryption and features like perfect forward secrecy, which protects past sessions even if private keys are compromised.
2. Post-Quantum Algorithm Compatibility: TLS 1.3 supports algorithms resistant to quantum computing, ensuring your business is future-proof.
3. Regulatory Compliance: Meeting standards like PCI DSS, which requires TLS 1.2 or higher, helps avoid penalties and enhances your company’s reputation.

How to Migrate to TLS 1.2

1. Audit Your Systems: Identify all systems and applications still using TLS 1.0 or 1.1.
2. Upgrade Your Infrastructure: Ensure your servers, devices, and software support TLS 1.2 or higher.
3. Test and Verify: Conduct thorough testing to ensure that the TLS migration doesn’t disrupt your services.

Companies like GitHub and Google have successfully completed their TLS migration to TLS 1.2 and 1.3, significantly improving their security and performance. Are you ready to join them?

Don’t wait any longer to protect your business. TLS migration isn’t just a technical necessity—it’s an investment in your customers’ security and trust. What steps will you take today to secure your company’s future?
