Episode 151 — Troubleshooting Unsupported Protocols and Cipher Use

Certified - CompTIA Cloud+ Audio Course

In this episode, we address issues that arise when legacy or insecure protocols and ciphers are still in use within a cloud environment. Unsupported protocols like older SSL versions or weak ciphers can cause compatibility failures with modern systems and expose data to security risks. These problems often appear during integration of legacy systems with newer cloud services or after a platform update that enforces stricter security standards.

We also cover detection and remediation steps, including protocol scanning, cipher suite reviews, and updating configurations to align with best practices. For the Cloud+ exam, recognizing how to identify and replace unsupported or insecure options is essential for maintaining both functionality and compliance.
