We’ll be updating to TLS 1.2 across all Digistorm Websites as of Monday 10 May 2021. This means that TLS versions 1.0 and 1.1 will no longer be supported as they pose security vulnerabilities. All schools have been informed via email and their CSM.
What is TLS?
TLS (Transport Layer Security) is a computer network communications encryption/security protocol, most commonly used as the security layer in HTTPS as well as Email, VOIP services, and Instant Messaging.
