Action required on or before May 18th, 2018
Bottomline Technologies is committed to ensuring the most secure Internet communications across our suite of products. There are important Internet security policies that will require changes if your browser is not compliant with the current industry standard for Internet communication protocols.

What?
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a protocol that ensures privacy between applications and users on the Internet. Only browsers using TLS version 1.2 or above will be able to connect to the application.

When?
Now! You should determine as soon as possible if your browser is compliant so that changes, if needed, can be made before service is interrupted.
