End of Support for TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1

To make sure that communications established by our solutions align with security standards, we will no longer support TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 protocols after 26 November 2024. After that date, our security solutions will use TLS 1.2 or higher for communications with our servers.

In the next few days, we will update our security software on computers with operating systems that do not support TLS 1.2 or higher. This update will make sure that our security solutions can communicate with the servers securely, even when the operating system does not support TLS 1.2 or higher.

Affected Systems: Computers that run a Windows operating system earlier than Windows 8 (included) and all macOS and Linux computers.

Update Plan:

  • Communications agent update: Will take place between 22 and 31 October 2024. You do not need to make any configuration changes.
  • Protection software update: During the week of 4 November 2024 we will make the protection update available for affected computers. In the endpoint security management UI, review the Per-computer settings > Updates settings and make sure the affected computers update before 26 November 2024.

We keep working on adding new features to provide a more comprehensive approach to our customers. Please reach out to the WatchGuard team if you have any questions or want to get started on delivering simplified security solutions.
