TLS (Transport Layer Security)
TLS (Transport Layer Security) is a cryptographic protocol that secures data transmitted between systems, such as your browser and intranet server. It ensures that sensitive information - like login credentials, financial records, or internal messages - is encrypted during transit.
In a banking or credit union environment, TLS is a foundational layer of intranet security. It protects against data interception, man-in-the-middle attacks, and unauthorized access.
Why TLS Matters
Without TLS, internal communications - such as login forms, form submissions, or document views - could be intercepted by attackers. TLS ensures your intranet users access content securely, supporting both cybersecurity and compliance requirements.
TLS and Compliance
Regulations like GLBA and NCUA cybersecurity guidelines expect encryption for internal systems that handle sensitive customer data. TLS helps meet those expectations, especially when intranets are accessed remotely or over public networks.
How SimplifyIT Helps
Every hosted SimplifyIT intranet uses TLS with modern encryption standards. If your intranet is self-hosted, we'll guide your team through proper TLS setup with SSL certificates and best practices.
