performing-ssl-tls-security-assessment

Assess SSL/TLS server configurations using the sslyze Python scanning library to evaluate supported protocol versions, cipher suite strength, certificate chain validation, HSTS enforcement, OCSP stapling, and known vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed and ROBOT. Use when conducting a security assessment of a server's TLS configuration or verifying remediation of cipher/certificate weaknesses.

# Performing SSL/TLS Security Assessment

## Overview

Assess SSL/TLS server configurations using sslyze, a fast Python-based scanning library. This skill covers evaluating supported protocol versions (SSLv2/3, TLS 1.0-1.3), cipher suite strength, certificate chain validation, HSTS enforcement, OCSP stapling, and scanning for known vulnerabilities including Heartbleed, ROBOT, and session renegotiation weaknesses.


## When to Use

- When conducting security assessments that involve performing ssl tls security assessment
- When following incident response procedures for related security events
- When performing scheduled security testing or auditing activities
- When validating security controls through hands-on testing

## Prerequisites
