Transport Layer Security (TLS)

Secure Communication Protocol

What is Transport Layer Security (TLS)?

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol used to secure communications over networks. It ensures confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of data transmitted between systems.

TLS is widely used in web traffic (HTTPS), email communication, and Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections, forming a core component of modern Cryptography.

What is TLS used for?

TLS is used to protect sensitive data from interception and tampering, mitigating risks such as Packet Sniffing and Spoofing. It is essential for securing communications in cloud, web, and enterprise environments.

Organizations rely on TLS to support Zero Trust architectures, protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and ensure compliance with security standards.
