Amazon RDS for SQL Server Supports Disabling Old Versions of TLS and Ciphers

Posted on: Jul 21, 2020

Starting today, Amazon RDS for SQL Server supports enabling or disabling certain security protocols and ciphers. By creating a custom DB parameter group and associating it with your DB instance, you can disable or enable older versions of Transport Layer Security (TLS) such as TLS 1.0 and 1.1. You can also disable or enable ciphers such as the RC4 stream cipher.

Learn more about how to configure disabling older versions of TLS in RDS from this blog post, and see the Amazon Relational Database Services User Guide for more information.
