Accedian announced that its cloud-native performance monitoring and analytics platform, Skylight, will include new decryption technology to ensure end-to-end visibility on encrypted network traffic. The technology supports all Transport Layer Security versions, including TLS 1.3, allowing customers to maintain the privacy and security of encryption while still gaining valuable insight into network traffic for performance monitoring and threat detection.
Microsoft this week announced that the Transport Layer Security 1.3 protocol is now enabled by default in Windows 10 Insider Preview builds, and that it will be rolled out to all Windows 10 systems. With TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 considered insecure, exposing communications to a variety of attacks, including BEAST, CRIME and POODLE, tech companies such as Cloudflare, Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, and others have long been pushing for the retirement of older protocols and the broad adoption of TLS 1.3.
China is now blocking encrypted HTTPS traffic that uses TLS 1.3 with ESNI enabled, according to observers at the Great Firewall Report. While TLS hides the content of a user's communication, it cannot always hide the server they are communicating with because its handshake optionally contains a Server Name Indication field designed to explain where traffic is going.

TLS 1.3: Slow adoption of stronger web encryption is empowering the bad guysTLS provides secure communication between web browsers, end-user facing applications and servers by encrypting the transmitted information, preventing eavesdropping or tampering attacks. Actively exploited MS Exchange flaw present on 80% of exposed serversAttackers aiming to exploit CVE-2020-0688, a critical Microsoft Exchange flaw patched by Microsoft in February 2020, don't have to look hard to find a server they can attack.
That's why, despite TLS 1.3 being around since 2018 and offering greater security that TLS 1.2, the latter that remains the de facto standard. The TLS 1.2 protocol took multiple round trips between client and server, while TLS 1.3 is a much smoother process that requires only one trip.
Building on a history of delivering high-quality embedded software components, HCC Embedded has added a fully MISRA-compliant TLS 1.3 module to its TCP/IP stack. HCC 's TLS 1.3 builds on its TLS 1.2 offering and its long involvement with TLS to provide advantages to developers in terms of simplicity and robustness that make communication in their critical embedded designs faster and more secure.
The latest Android iteration (Android Q) arrives with TLS 1.3 support enabled by default, as well as with other security improvements, Google announced this week. read more
