SSL has not been updated since SSL 3.0 in 1996 and is now considered to be deprecated. There are several known vulnerabilities in the SSL protocol, and security experts recommend discontinuing its use. In fact, most modern web browsers no longer support SSL at all.
TLS is the up-to-date encryption protocol that is still being implemented online, even though many people still refer to it as “SSL encryption.” This can be a source of confusion for someone shopping for security solutions. The truth is that any vendor offering “SSL” these days is almost certainly providing TLS protection, which has been an industry standard for over 20 years. But since many folks are still searching for “SSL protection,” the term is still featured prominently on many product pages.
