As of June 30, 2019, which TLS protocol must be enabled to access the Dynatrace web UI?

The requirement to enable TLS 1.2 to access the Dynatrace web UI is critical for establishing a secure connection. TLS, or Transport Layer Security, is a cryptographic protocol designed to provide secure communication over a computer network. Starting from June 30, 2019, Dynatrace mandated the use of TLS 1.2 due to its enhanced security features compared to earlier versions.

TLS 1.2 supports modern cryptographic algorithms and includes improvements to security and performance, which protect against various vulnerabilities that were present in earlier versions like TLS 1.0 and 1.1. In particular, TLS 1.2 mitigates threat vectors that could allow for man-in-the-middle attacks and session hijacking, ensuring that data transmitted between the client and server remains confidential and secure.

Choosing to use TLS 1.2 helps organizations comply with industry standards and regulations, which increasingly require the use of strong encryption methods to secure data in transit. As a result, enabling TLS 1.2 not only strengthens the security of the Dynatrace web UI but also aligns with best practices for secure network communication in enterprise environments.
