Secure communication

Secure communication between the agents and the Cloud APM server requires TLS 1.2.

Communication between the agents and the Cloud APM server in the IBM® Cloud uses HTTPS with TLS 1.2 and the FIPS Suite-B cipher suites. The following ciphers are used:

TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384

Communications between the browser and the Cloud APM server also requires TLS 1.2. In some browsers, TLS 1.2 is not enabled by default and must be enabled manually.
