## Solution

**Background Information:**

The general recommendation across the globe is to move to TLS v1.2:

* SSLv3 has become insecure and deprecated and the last several attacks (POODLE 2, Freak, Logjam) were directed at TLS.
* The Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI DSS / PCI SSC) set the date for mandatory support of TLS v1.2 to 30 June 2016.
* PCI DSS set the date for transition to exclusive use of TLS v1.2 to [30 June 2018](http://blog.pcisecuritystandards.org/migrating-from-ssl-and-early-tls).
* US-CERT recommends to move to TLS v1.1 or higher.

**Check Point adds TLS v1.2 support for all the products, by dates specified below.**

Most of Check Point products already support TLS v1.2, except for the products listed in the table below.

These products will be updated according to the table below.

{#TLS_support_Table}

**Notes:**

1. The schedule can be subject to modifications. For most up-to-date information, revisit this page or subscribe to RSS feed (at the top).

2. Support for TLS 1.2 was integrated since *Take 266* of [R77.30 Jumbo Hotfix](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk106162).

   * The SIC initialization still communicates over SSLv3.

   * For VSX Gateway, refer to [sk112014 - "Cannot establish connection to SSL Network Extender gateway. Try to reconnect." error when connecting with SSL Network Extender to Mobile Access Portal on VSX Virtual System after installing the "TLS 1.2 Hotfix for R77.30"](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk112014).

   * Before installing *Take 266* and higher of [R77.30 Jumbo Hotfix](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk106162), make sure to back up *all* the current *httpd.conf* files:  
     *\[Expert@HostName:0\]# find / -name httpd.conf -type f*

     If any changes were made in the past in the *httpd.conf* files, then the new *httpd.conf* files should be edited manually (do NOT overwrite the new files with the backed up files).
   * If a connection from a SmartConsole computer to a Security Management Server / Domain Management Server must also be TLS 1.2, then an improved SmartConsole can be provided (otherwise, the communication will be TLS 1.0).

     This requires *Take 266* and higher of [R77.30 Jumbo Hotfix](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk106162) to be installed on the Security Management Server / Multi-Domain Security Management Server.
