Enterprise File Transfer Service Updates

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.

Not Supported After August 25, 2024

Protocols
TLS v1.1
TLS v1.0

Hash Algorithms
SHA1
MD50

Recommended Actions

  • Ensure your systems are configured to support TLS v1.2 or v1.3.
  • For TLS v1.2, configure your systems to use the stronger 256bit cipher suites.
  • Disable SHA1 and MD5 HMACs.
  • Test your systems to confirm compatibility with these updates, using our test system at secure-tst.lifethc.org.
    • A unique login is required to access our test system. To set up an account, please contact our Enterprise File Transfer Support team at SFTPSupport@excellus.com.

Contact your account consultant with questions or email SFTPSupport@excellus.com.
