Advanced security

Advanced security includes a secure network communication between ESET PROTECT components:

•Certificates and certification authorities use SHA-256 (instead of SHA-1).

•The ESET PROTECT Server uses the highest possible security (TLS 1.3 or 1.2) for communication with agents, Syslog and SMTP communication.

•MDM users: The ESET PROTECT Server uses TLS 1.2 for communication with the MDM server. Communication between the MDM server and mobile devices is not affected.

Advanced security works with all supported operating systems:

•Windows

•Linux - We recommend that you use the latest version of OpenSSL 1.1.1. ESET Management Agent also supports OpenSSL 3.x. The minimum supported version of OpenSSL for Linux is openssl-1.0.1e-30. There can be more versions of OpenSSL installed on one system simultaneously. At least one supported version must be present on your system.

oUse the command openssl version to show the current default version.

oYou can list all versions of OpenSSL present on your system. See the filename endings listed using the command sudo find / -iname *libcrypto.so*

oVerify if your Linux client is compatible using the following command: openssl s_client -connect google.com:443 -tls1_2
