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 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.
