Securing communication among Infrastructure Management components

By default, TrueSight Infrastructure Management and its associated components use Transport Layer Security (TLS) versions earlier than TLS 1.2 to communicate with each other. You can upgrade the security in your enterprise environment by using TLS 1.2 to communicate with TrueSight Infrastructure Management components. Following installation of the TrueSight Infrastructure Management components, you can switch from the default inter-component security configuration to TLS 1.2 configuration.
