Update: Upcoming Authorize.net SSL/TLS Change
As you may know, several of our partners, including Authorize.net and Shippo, have recently communicated updates regarding their API and security protocols. A key part of these updates is the deprecation of older TLS versions (1.1 and earlier) in favor of TLS 1.2 or higher. For our hosted clients utilizing M.O.M. and SiteLINK services, we want to reassure you that we have already implemented the necessary changes to comply with these standards. We have removed any traces of TLS 1.1 or older versions from our environment to ensure full compliance. As related to the recent Authorize.net SSL and TLS notices, we will be testing as directed by the Authorize.net’s published KB article once the SSL change has been completed on their end by 10/24. However, for clients with an on-premise solution of M.O.M. or if it is hosted outside of Freestyle’s hosting solution, it is critical to review your current infrastructure. Please work with your network or IT administrator to confirm that your systems are up to date with the latest security protocols. This includes updating your server’s SSL/TLS configuration
