Beim TLS-Protokoll handelt es sich, wie beim SSL-Protokoll auch, um Verschlüsselungen für Daten, die von einem Punkt zum anderen übertragen werden. Normalerweise handelt es sich bei diesen zwei Punkten um Server und Client, doch es gibt auch Fälle, in denen eine Verschlüsselung für die Datenübertragung zwischen Servern oder Clients nötig ist.

What is an attack surface and how can it be reduced?

An attack surface is a range of cyber vulnerabilities that malicious actors can use as entry points to access systems and perform cyberattacks. Shoddy cybersecurity systems, weak passwords, and the use of websites without TLS encryption are just a few examples that can contribute to a large attack surface. Sick of feeling exposed to endless…
