Upgrade your browser (Internet Explorer)

In a recent Internet Security Council meeting, a browser security vulnerability was identified and a directive was issued. The directive states that SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and TLS 1.0 (Transport Layer Security), security settings in Internet Explorer (IE), must be changed and older versions of IE will no longer be allowed to connect to secure websites.

We highly recommend that you update your IE to the latest version.

If you still want to continue to use your current version of IE, because of the security risks associated with using IE7 and older browsers, access to secure websites will not be allowed on the internet. For versions IE8 through IE10, you will have to change the security settings to be able to gain access to secure websites.

The following steps will guide you to the update the security settings for IE8, IE9 and IE10:
1. Click on Tools or the ‘Gear’ symbol (top-right side of browser)
2. Click Internet Options
3. Click on the Advanced tab
4. Scroll down and un-check the following:
–Use SSL 2.0
–Use SSL 3.0
–Use TLS 1.0
5. Place a check in front of the following:
–TLS 1.1
–TLS 1.2
6. Click OK on all screens
