Overview

This article provides the documents corresponding to the configuration of each GFI product to use HTTPS.

 

Information

One of the key points in protecting personal data is to safeguard confidentiality and integrity using encryption.

Encryption ensures that even if attackers can gain unauthorized access to your stored data or intercept data being transmitted, they would not be able to read it.

There are two situations where encryption should be enabled:

• Data at rest. Where data resides in storage. For further information see TDE and BitLocker.
• Data in transit. As data travels on private networks and across the Internet.

 

Enforcing Data Encryption

This article describes how to enforce encryption for data in transit.

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a standard protocol that provides encryption for data in transit using strong authentication and protecting both the confidentiality and integrity of data as it travels across networks.

GFI Products that use a web interface can be accessed over HTTPS to warrant better security.
