Which TLS version does Dynatrace SaaS utilize?

Dynatrace SaaS utilizes TLS 1.2 as its default transport layer security protocol. This version is widely adopted for secure communications over a computer network, offering improved security features compared to its predecessors. TLS 1.2 includes support for stronger cipher suites and enhanced protection against certain types of attacks that were feasible with older versions.

The adoption of TLS 1.2 by Dynatrace reflects the industry's movement towards bolstering security measures, particularly in cloud-based services that handle sensitive data. As security standards evolve, TLS 1.2 remains a robust choice while ensuring compatibility with various systems and frameworks.

While other protocols like TLS 1.1 and SSL v3.0 have been phased out or deprecated due to security vulnerabilities, TLS 1.3 is both an improvement and a standard that exists alongside TLS 1.2, but Dynatrace has settled on TLS 1.2 for its SaaS offering as of the latest data available. This ensures clients benefit from a well-established security framework while still being positioned for future updates to TLS 1.3 and beyond.
