Application and Website Security
Why are application and website security important? Hackers must first find weaknesses (vulnerabilities) within a system or application in order to gain control of computers and other network systems. These weaknesses can be the result of many different causes, such as not keeping systems and applications up to date or the use of insecure development and coding practices. In either case, these weaknesses could allow hackers to gain unauthorized access to UCSF systems and data.

SSL / TLS Certificates
Description SSL (secure socket layer protocol), currently using TLS 1.2 or greater encryption, is used to secure transmissions between servers and clients. Example: Visiting a https address from Google Chrome or Safari. SSL / TLS certificates allow clients to verify a server's authenticity against known Certificate Authorities before establishing an encrypted connection. This helps determine if the server is who they say they are.
