mod-ssl

In the ever-evolving landscape of web security, staying ahead of vulnerabilities is crucial. For administrators managing web servers with Apache, ensuring the use of strong SSL ciphers is a key defense against data breaches and attacks. In this blog, we will explore how to disable weak SSL ciphers in Apache using the mod_ssl module, significantly strengthening your server’s security posture. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and its successor, Transport Layer Security (TLS), are protocols designed to provide secure communication over a computer network. When SSL/TLS is used by a website, the data transmitted between the web server and the web browser is encrypted, protecting it against eavesdropping and tampering.
