For the majority of Procore users, the Transport Layer Security (TLS) v1.2 requirement will not have any adverse impact on performance, stability, or security. There may, however, be some aspects of the TLS v1.2 that certain users need to be aware of. These considerations are covered in the following sections.
Procore's network security architecture relies on the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol for ensuring user interaction with Procore over the internet occurs securely without transmissions being vulnerable to outside entities. TLS encrypts a channel between two endpoints (for example, between a web browser and web server) to provide privacy and reliability of data transmitted over the communications channel. The primary benefit of TLS is the protection of web application data from unauthorized disclosure and modification when it is transmitted between clients (web browsers) and the web application server, and between the web application server and back end or other non-browser based enterprise components.
Out of concern for protecting your data and to comply with industry standards, beginning mid Q2 2019 Procore will only support TLS v1.2 network connections. Users will need to connect to Procore using the TLS v1.2 protocol to avoid any interruption in service.
Here are some important dates and milestones related to the TLS v1.2 upgrade:
In order to ensure uninterrupted service, Procore users should adopt one of the following browser versions that support TLS v1.2.
