Secure protocol and TLS requirements

The RocketCyber Cloud requires clients connecting to utilize the TLS 1.2 or higher security protocol. Most modern browsers and operating systems have this capability built in and can auto negotiate. There are a few cases on Microsoft Windows where TLS 1.2 is either not enabled or not the default TLS protocol used to negotiate connections.

  • Windows 7 Service Pack 1
  • Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
  • Windows Server 2012
  • Windows 10 Version 1507 and prior
