As part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring the highest standards of digital security, we are updating our encryption protocols in line with industry standards and best practices. These changes to our enterprise file transfer service MAY affect you or SOME of your groups. Impacted groups will receive an email communication from us.
Below you will find a list of deprecated protocols and hash algorithms (HMACs). These will no longer be supported after August 25, 2024. We are also providing recommended actions to ensure there is no interruption in service.
