SSL
Secure Sockets Layer
SSL is a deprecated cryptographic protocol that was used to encrypt network communications. TLS replaced it, but the term 'SSL' is still widely used colloquially.
Cómo se usa en ciberseguridad
Cybersecurity professionals flag systems still running SSL as a critical vulnerability. Penetration testers check for SSL fallback attacks like POODLE and DROWN. Security engineers migrate legacy services from SSL to TLS 1.2 or 1.3.
