SEC 5.5.1

Any idea when SEC 5.5.1 will be out?

Hi David Foli,

Sophos Enterprise Console 5.5.1 is officially now available for the public. Please refer Information on Sophos Enterprise Console 5.5.1 for more details.

Hello

Our SQL server version is 2012 SP4,  11.0.7462.6

installer says : "SQL Server instance does not support TLS 1.2".

Which is false.  Anything more up-to-date than 11.0.6216.27 do support TLS 1.2  See:  support.microsoft.com/.../tls-1-2-support-for-microsoft-sql-server

Should I continue to attempt installation of 5.5.1?

Hello Paul Jr,

first of all, do you need TLS 1.2? It's not q requirement for SEC.
11.0.6216.27 is, as far as I can see in the MS article, the minimum for SQL Server 2012 SP3 GDR - SP4 isn't mentioned so I assume it "does" TLS 1.2 and it's the version packaged with the installer. Perhaps CheckDBConnection with the -l switch gives some hint.

If you don't need TLS 1.2 just continue with the installation.

Hello

Only things I really need are a wife, a Labrador dog, a fishing rod, and a dual sport motorcycle.  Computers are just un-productive pain-in-the-ass stuff I'm forced to live with.  Security are composed of the elites of the pain-in-the-ass stuff and originated by the laziness and carelessness of those almost criminal minds who created computer sciences.  In an accountable world, those criminals - Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Equifax, and all - would be jailed for destroying our private lifes, among other things.

TLS 1.3 is a draft since early 2018.  Google implemented it a year ago.

TLS 1.2 is mostly security and bugs fix to TLS 1.0.  It was released in august 2008.  I repeat.  August 2008. Ten years ago.

TLS 1.0 was release in 1999.  At that point, you might as well ride in a Ford model T.

A lot of very bad things happened on the internet since 2008.  Don't you thing that complying to a standard that's already archaic is a minimum one can do in an effort to protect his business ?  We should expect our End-Point protection to be efficient against recent malware with technologies that old ?  How could it be Sophos are so late to respond to latest technology trend ? Up to last year they were still on SMBv1 on their WEB gateway.
