Old TLS1.0/TLS1.1 Protocol Version Enabled

Sigma Rules

View Source
Summary
This detection rule focuses on identifying the re-enabling of deprecated TLS versions 1.0 and 1.1 within Windows environments. This action is performed by modifying specific registry keys. The rule inspects changes to the registry settings related to the Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI) for TLS protocols. Specifically, it checks if the registry values for TLS 1.0 or TLS 1.1 have been set to enabled (DWORD value of 1). The rule is important for maintaining security since older versions of TLS are known to contain vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attackers. Triggering conditions include any registry path changes indicating an enabled status for the mentioned protocols. False positives may occur when legacy systems require these older versions due to compatibility issues. This rule is part of a broader cybersecurity strategy to ensure that only secure and up-to-date protocols are in use across Windows systems, reducing the risk of exploitation through outdated encryption methods.
