I was in charge of ensuring the TLS 1.2 compliance of hundreds of old sites in my organization. 2 weeks ago I was well on track to have it finished in time. Now I'm tasked to just keep up essential systems that are straining under the work from home onslaught, with two suddenly homeschooled kids needing my support
I'm also so overstressed and worried that can only sleep on Xanax and have an asthma flare-up that looks like covid19 symptoms at times, adding to the anxiety.
This will be a good and needed change, but it can wait.
- kul_ 7y agoWhy do you have to do it alone? Cant you ask for another colleague to help you out on this?
- user5994461 7y agoIf you were to ask a room full of developers what are TLS versions or TLS ciphers and which ones should be disabled? You'd be luckly if any of them raise their hands. Consider an old organization with hundreds of old systems, that can be fairly critical. Nobody understand or is willing to do the work. To their credit, TLS and cryptography is really difficult. So don't be surprised that things will be fixed... after they're noticeably broken.
- seniorcardigan 7y agoIm of a three person team that completed a similar but smaller company (~30 ish sites,400 heads) and it was just short of a nightmare to even get buy in from devs and maintainers. And even after flipping the switch we found issues, soft killed site wide connectivity a couple times, it was not a pleasant experience. However I dont recall a time in ~11 years in which Id learned more quite as fast as I did.
